A North Carolina woman is protesting after a judge called her out for breastfeeding in court. Stephanie Rhodus, appearing as a defendant, was nursing her 8-month-old son Archer when District Court judge Peter Knight reprimanded her. "Ma'am, you need to cover up," Knight tells Rhodus, heard in a recording obtained by ABC News affiliate Wlos. "For you not to realize that is absolutely ridiculous. Step outside, and cover up right now. Stand up, and go, now." "To nurse the child in the courtroom is just absolutely inappropriate. Step outside and button up."
