<<Breast-Feeding Protections Backed

The House overwhelmingly passed a bill yesterday that grants mothers the
right to nurse their babies in public and makes clear that no one is to
restrict or limit that right. The bill, which outlines the health benefits of
breast-feeding to mothers and children, unanimously passed the Senate early
last month. It now goes to Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr.Although breast-feeding
in public is not against the law in Maryland, many mothers say they have been
harassed or asked to leave public places -- such as stores, shopping malls,
libraries and restaurants -- when they attempted to breast-feed their babies.>
