PERRYVILLE, Mo. (AP) - Aldermen in the southeast Missouri town of Perryville have updated the city’s public indecency law to protect nursing mothers from potential prosecution.
The Southeast Missourian (https://bit.ly/1jdB5DT ) reports that the board on Tuesday unanimously adopted a new ordinance. It prohibits exposure of any “private area,” apparent sexual misconduct, urination or defecation. But it includes a clause permitting breast-feeding “in any public or private location where the mother is otherwise authorized to be.”
