Women could face jail if they expose their nipples in [North Carolina]

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, there’s 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.

The girl on the right needs to eat a cheeseburger or something.

Real women have overhanging abdominal fat!

In fairness, the only Rayne I’d ever heard of prior to today was male.

Unlike many problems, this one responds to strategically-applied pressure.

Oh, Thank Goodness!

I have been waiting for my Government to finally do something about making me and my family see, believe, and do whatever they want me to see, believe, or do.

Now if only they could arrest people who look at breasts...

Rayne Brown, right.

Somehow Rayne's actions remind me of a woman taking revenge on the beauty she lost by making life harder on those who have it.

Name your child after hardship and see what happens. Might as well named her Poverti.

The more things they make felonies the better they can control us and the faster they can disarm us.

Has anyone considered what this is going to do to the cost of milk in NC?

Rayne Brown; occupation: Medical Social Worker; religion: United Methodist; etc., etc.

Obviously had to run as a Republican to get elected in: "North Carolina House of Representatives - District 81. This District is comprised of parts of Lexington, Thomasville, Southmont, Tyro and Boone in Davidson County."

This dipwad dyke just HAS to be a stealth Democrat. Her pet legislative project is bleeding non-custodial fathers to over-fund her social worker girl?-friends.

How she fooled the voters there is another question entirely.
