A La Leche League International Winner

Angelina Jolie‘s in the tank for Barack Obama, and she’s on the cover of W, breast-feeding one of her twins. This photo is one of many that her partner Brad Pitt has taken. The photos could prompt new moms to give breast-feeding a shot, experts say. But the magazine cover isn’t without some controversy, according to US magazine. Jolie “is also an international sex symbol,” psychotherapist Shannon Fox told Reuters. “So whether or not she says, ‘This is a beautiful way of nurturing my baby,’ every man who sees that photo will see those breasts as sexual.” La Leche League International sees it otherwise. “Mothers of twins report it takes a lot of time, effort, and physical energy to breast-feed. I think the picture is beautiful,” spokeswoman Jane Krouse also told Reuters. No word on whether this mother of six will influence others to vote for Obama.
