Women who wish to show their nipples in public in North Carolina may be prevented from doing so in the future after politicians proposed new legislation.
Females exposing their breasts could soon be a thing of the past in the US state after representatives put forward House Bill 34 that would make it a felony to show the nipple, or any portion of the areola, of the human female breast.
One of the main cheerleaders of the new proposal and co-sponsor of the bill, is Republican representative Rayne Brown.
He said: There are communities across this state, theres local governments across this state, and also local law enforcement for whom this issue is really not a laughing matter.
A woman could be imprisoned for six months if they were to contravene the law but there would be exemptions for breast feeding.
Rather unfairly, men would also be exempt from the law.

On the bright side, it’s a great time to be in code enforcement.

This type of crap is why I became a Libertarian This type of crap is why I have always been a libertarian.
There is a HUGH difference between capital L and lowercase L. "Big L", Libertarian Party types are mostly in it to legalize whatever they feel like doing. A woman I knew called it well... Libertarians are low-empathy hedonist pot smokers and sub-clinical Godless sociopaths. She herself was a lowercase L libertarian... a Christian... intelligent... drop dead gorgeous Texas girl too... definately the type to take home to mom and dad.

We must be making incredible progress on all the truly ominous problems we face as a country for our exalted leaders to be working on this.
