<<A mother  was 
nursing her baby (very discreetly, btw -- not that that should make  
any difference) and was ticketed for "knowingly exposing one's 
genitals  in a public area", which carries a fine of $50. >>
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
What was she using to nurse the baby?  Her vagina?  Since WHEN  are breasts 
considered genitals?  
 
Just checked Mosby's in case there was something new I wasn't aware  of:
 
"Genitals.  The sex or reproductive organs.  In the female they  include the 
vulva, mons veneris, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vagina,  uterus, 
fallopian tubes and ovaries."
 
There you have it.  I guess in Colorado if the midwife needs to do a  genital 
exam you take off your bra.
 
Sheesh.
