Wisconsin has a new Breastfeeding law that states the following:
“A mother may breast-feed her child in any public or private location where the mother and child are otherwise authorized to be. In such a location, no person may prohibit a mother from breast-feeding her child, direct a mother to move to another location to breast-feed her child, direct a mother to cover her child or breast while breast-feeding, or otherwise restrict a mother from breast-feeding. A person who interferes with that right is subject to a forfeiture not to exceed $200 under the general penalty provision under current law.”
A woman can legally expose her breast in public while feeding her child? And if I ask her to cover up, I can be fined $200?
I’m not sure how I would feel if I’m eating lunch and the woman at the next table’s breast is exposed. I’m all for breast feeding in public, and understand the merits, but shouldn’t a woman be required/expected to cover the breast?
