Atlanta Strip Clubs: Your morning jolt: Forest Park backs off breast-feeding ban

Posted on June 7th, 2011 in Atlanta strip clubs

Bowing to fierce demands from the lactation crowd, city officials in Forest Park say they’ve modified a controversial new public indecency ordinance that sparked recent protests.
They’ve removed the provision that would have restricted breast feeding to children under age 2. From the Associated Press:
The new version approved Monday simply states that breast-feeding of a baby is exempt from the restrictions. In May, dozens of breast-feeding women and their supporters protested in front of the Forest Park City Hall. A Facebook campaign against the ordinance was also launched. Forest Park City attorney Robert Mack Jr. has said the ordinance is aimed at public nudity — not breast-feeding.
Apparently, moms resented being placed in the same categories with strippers. Now, if we can only get San Francisco to back off that proposed circumcision ban.
