A victory for breastfeeding rights in South Carolina
In the heart of the conservative south, laws protecting a women's right to breastfeed are making headway. Yesterday a measure that allows women the right to breastfeed wherever they have the right to be has passed the South Carolina senate, after being approved in the state's house of representatives in February. The bill also exempts breast-feeding from indecent exposure laws, and although South Carolina's governor has not committed to signing the bill into law, his spokesperson has stated that the governor "sees nothing wrong with the bill so far, but he wants to review it further when it hits his desk."Posted by Jason at April 6, 2006 04:08 PM | TrackBack
