Motherhood has long been regarded as one of the most profound and sacred roles bestowed upon humanity. From nurturing life within the womb to sustaining it through breastfeeding, mothers embody an unparalleled connection to creation itself.
Yet this divine calling is now under attack, trivialised by efforts to replace its essence with a poor imitation.
A recent decision by La Leche League (LLL),, a long-standing breastfeeding charity, to support the idea that men can ‘breastfeed’, despite the obvious lack of biological capability, strikes at the heart of this sacred role.
In a press statement dated 14th November, the directors say: ‘LLL International as an organisation has moved towards a policy that includes supporting transwomen (biological males) to lactate and feed their child. This is an ongoing discussion that is taking place within LLLGB as well, and our volunteers have a variety of strong views.’
The Bible often uses breastfeeding as a metaphor. For example:
Isaiah 66:11 That ye may suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. (KJV)
In prioritising ideology over biology, society risks severing the timeless bond between mother and child, replacing a God-ordained act of love with a hollow political statement.
The NHS, which Boris Johnson encouraged people to clap for during the Covid lockdown, is now promoting, in a special page on its website, what it calls ‘Chestfeeding if you’re trans or non-binary’. ‘Chestfeeding is feeding your baby with milk from your chest’, it solemnly explains.
Feeding fantasies
The idea of breastfeeding transcends mere nourishment; it represents the deep, instinctive connection between mother and child. But the nourishment is nevertheless the vital element. The infant receiving food from the mother is part of the divine order, the eternal laws of God:
Psalm 22:9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother’s breasts.
To distort this act by allowing men to mimic breastfeeding through artificial means is therefore to demean the very foundation of maternal care.
Marian Tompson, a trustee at LLL who dedicated her life to preserving the sanctity of breastfeeding, has now distanced herself from the organisation she helped build, citing its indulgence “in adult fantasies over scientific reality”.
The Free Speech Union reports that fellow trustee Miriam Main, LLLGB’s PR director, has also resigned, saying ‘she refused to help biological men “perform a poor imitation of breastfeeding”, which she said put babies’ safety at risk’.
The Bible’s wisdom literature warns us of such folly:
Eccl 10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
By attempting to rewrite the natural order, La Leche League risks undermining the profound work of countless women and eroding the trust of those who need genuine support during the most vulnerable times of their lives.

The rise of false shepherds
Across generations, women have relied on organisations like La Leche League to advocate for their unique needs and experiences.
Yet today, those entrusted with defending women’s interests are turning their backs on them. In seeking to appease the trans lobby, LLL has embraced policies that prioritise the desires of some self-absorbed men over the biological realities of women.
The breastfeeding metaphor is all through scripture. Here it is in the Song of Solomon:
Song 8:1 Oh that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
By choosing to amplify the voices of those who can never fully understand or experience the maternal bond, LLL has sold its mission for the proverbial mess of pottage. Women deserve representation that affirms their lived realities and honours the sacred labour of motherhood, not leaders who abandon them for fleeting political trends.

Betraying Eve
The assault on womanhood is no longer news, but its modern manifestations have become increasingly brazen.
From the denial of biological realities like childbirth and breastfeeding to the growing societal push to erase the distinctions between male and female, the unique challenges and triumphs of women are being sidelined.
The departures of trustees Marian Tompson and Miriam Main highlight the heartbreak of watching institutions built to protect women’s interests turn into politically-correct platforms for ideological experimentation. Gender roles are part of God’s created order, emphasised by his judgements in the Garden of Eden:
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
The judgment is not an inconvenience but a reflection of a divine design that honours women’s role in the cycle of life. To mock this is to undermine the very essence of womanhood, robbing mothers of the respect and dignity they deserve.
The price of playing God
When organisations prioritise adult desires over the well-being of children, the results are not just disappointing—they are destructive.
By promoting male pseudo-lactation without understanding its implications for infant health, La Leche League undermines the trust placed in it by vulnerable families.
This shift signals a broader cultural trend of placing personal fantasies over the sacred responsibility of nurturing future generations.
Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
The Apostle warns our choices ripple across generations. The decision to indulge in ideological experimentation at the expense of children’s well-being is not only irresponsible but a moral failure. The sacred act of breastfeeding must remain a testament to the unique and irreplaceable role of mothers, not a platform for misguided attempts to play God.
A call to defend truth and dignity
The redefinition of sacred roles and the prioritisation of ideology over reality is a profound betrayal of womanhood. Whether through fraudulent job schemes exploiting vulnerable mothers or policies that diminish the biological realities of maternal care, these actions strike at the very foundation of what it means to be a woman.
This is not merely a cultural or political debate; it is a spiritual battle for truth, dignity, and the preservation of divine order.
Women must be honoured for their unique and God-given roles, and society must stand firm against attempts to mock and trivialise the sacred.
The Bible says,
Joel 2:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet.
We may be encouraged to prayer and witness by Joel’s word being in the context of judgment turned away by God in favour of restoration:
Joel 2:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.
PRAYER AND WITNESS
Pray: That the Lord will continue to raise people to speak up against evil.
Thank God for and pray he will draw near to Marian Tompson and Miriam Main.
Pray for repentance for La Leche League and for our country. Pray for our leaders to lead in wisdom and the fear of God.
