Breast-feeding law on its way to Senate floor

(Published March 28‚ 2006)

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - A measure that allows mothers to breast-feed their children in public without the fear of being ordered out of sight is on its way to the Senate floor.

The Senate Judiciary Committee passed out the measure Tuesday that allows women to breast-feed anywhere they have the right to be and exempts breast-feeding from indecent exposure laws.

The House approved the bill last month. It now goes to the full Senate for debate.
