Ohio Breast Feeding Bill

(Columbus, Ohio) Ohio lawmakers are being asked to consider making it legal for a woman to breast feed in public. In a legislative hearing last week, one supporter of the bill, Sharon Mech of Columbus, testified,
"[I]t's only in the last 60 years that we've come to believe that breasts are only for sexual stimulation and selling beer."
What? Breasts and beer? And only 60 years? Was there something different before 1944? I'm confused.

It's not believed that the bill will be passed in the current lame duck session. Sponsors, however, have vowed to keep the issue prominently in front of the legislature.
