Ok, so it still has to pass the assembly and be signed by Governor Doyle before it is "for real" but WTG Wisconsin for finally taking a step in the right direction!
Current Wisconsin law simply states that it is not a crime punishable by law to breastfeed in public, which offers no protection at all.
The NEW law will make it a crime to harass a breastfeeding mother! Punishable by a $200 fine!
WTG Wisconsin senate! Let's hope the Assembly is as smart!!!
It's about time!
