Having followed the links Misfit provided earlier, and a couple others from the same place, I would say in some instances the breast was not as well concealed by the baby's head as Es would suggest. I have seen it done a few times, and I did not see any problem with it.   BOINC WIKI ID: 464516 ·  |

Careful, John. Someone might guess you are not widely travelled and judge you upon this guess. Better to say you have been to at least 50 countries, seen it often, and you're cool with it or some such. ;) Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes. ID: 464520 · |

Would you like me to post a list of countries, or is this some sort of control issue? If so, please share with us your wisdom and insight. Account frozen... ID: 464524 · |

What the heck... Why excepting Alaska? I found this .... http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/breast50.htm it says as follows.... # Thirty seven states allow mothers to breastfeed in any public or private location (Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia). # Nineteen states exempt breastfeeding from public indecency laws (Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin). _________________________________________________ What is the heck is the difference between *allowing breastfeeding in public* and *exempting from public indecency?* Account frozen...

SUMMARY OF ENACTED BREASTFEEDING LEGISLATION NEVADA Nevada has enacted a law that specifically sets forth the importance of breastfeeding, and clarifies that women have a right to breastfeed their children in public, even if there is exposure of the breast. It also clarifies that breastfeeding is not an indecent or criminal act. Nev. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 201.210, § 201.220, § 201.232 1995 Nev. ALS 105; 1995 Nev. Stat. 105; 1995 Nev. Ch. 105; 1995 Nev. SB 317 § 201.232. Breast feeding: Legislative intent; authorized in any public or private location where mother is authorized to be 1. The legislature finds and declares that: (a) The medical profession in the United States recommends that children from birth to the age of 1 year should be breast fed, unless under particular circumstances it is medically inadvisable. (b) Despite the recommendation of the medical profession, statistics reveal a declining percentage of mothers who are choosing to breast feed their babies. (c) Many new mothers are now choosing to use formula rather than to breast feed even before they leave the hospital, and only a small percentage of all mothers are still breast feeding when their babies are 6 months old. (d) In addition to the benefit of improving bonding between mothers and their babies, breast feeding offers better nutrition, digestion and immunity for babies than does formula feeding, and it may increase the intelligence quotient of a child. Babies who are breast fed have lower rates of death, meningitis, childhood leukemia and other cancers, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, bacterial and viral infections, diarrheal diseases, otitis media, allergies, obesity and developmental delays. (e) Breast feeding also provides significant benefits to the health of the mother, including protection against breast cancer and other cancers, osteoporosis and infections of the urinary tract. The incidence of breast cancer in the United States might be reduced by 25 percent if every woman breast fed all her children until they reached the age of 2 years. (f) The World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund have established as one of their major goals for the decade the encouragement of breast feeding. (g) The social constraints of modern society weigh against the choice of breast feeding and lead new mothers with demanding time schedules to opt for formula feeding to avoid embarrassment, social ostracism or criminal prosecution. (h) Any genuine promotion of family values should encourage public acceptance of this most basic act of nurture between a mother and her baby, and no mother should be made to feel incriminated or socially ostracized for breast feeding her child. 2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a mother may breast feed her child in any public or private location where the mother is otherwise authorized to be, irrespective of whether the nipple of the mother's breast is uncovered during or incidental to the breast feeding. Nev. Rev. State. § 201.210 1. A person who commits any act of open or gross lewdness is guilty: (a) For the first offense, of a gross misdemeanor. (b) For any subsequent offense, of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130. 2. For the purposes of this section, the breast feeding of a child by the mother of the child does not constitute an act of open or gross lewdness. Nev. Rev. State. § 201.220 1. A person who makes any open and indecent or obscene exposure of his person, or of the person of another, is guilty: (a) For the first offense, of a gross misdemeanor. (b) For any subsequent offense, of a category D felony and shall be punished as provided in NRS 193.130 2. For the purposes of this section, the breast feeding of a child by the mother of the child does not constitute an act of open and indecent or obscene exposure of her body. Account frozen...

The part I love the most is how some of you seem to believe the government can legislate feelings and opinions.

It's the definition of the term. I don't know how to say that any other way.... Definitions of indecent on the Web: * not in keeping with accepted standards of what is right or proper in polite society; "was buried with indecent haste"; "indecorous behavior"; "language unbecoming to a lady"; "unseemly to use profanity"; "moved to curb their untoward ribaldry" * offensive to good taste especially in sexual matters; "an earthy but not indecent story"; "an indecent gesture" * offending against sexual mores in conduct or appearance; "a bathing suit considered indecent by local standards" wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn * A dictionary definition of Indecent#not conforming with accepted standards of behaviour or morality. #not appropriate en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indecent

Definitions of indecent on the Web: First thing about the definition above is that you must define "polite society". Once that little detail is taken care of, there may be a meaningful discussion. As to the rest of the alternate definitions, there is nothing sexual about feeding a baby. ID: 465018 · |

You'll be telling me next that you don't have long table clothes to cover those indecent ankles of your occasional furniture. Reality Internet Personality ID: 465047 · |

sniped.....It's the definition of the term. I don't know how to say that any other way.... It is conclusive that you feel/believe/etc. that Breastfeeding is indecent, and the rest of us do not. You are entitled to believe that it is indecent. So are we to believe differently. ;) The laws relating to Breastfeeding are not the US gov't legislating feelings or opinions, but a result of the feelings/opinions of the majority. Laws also reflect the morality of its Citizens defining what is moral(immoral). This thread clearly reflects the public opinion towards this issue. ID: 465070 · |
