I can relate. Total strangers have grabbed at me in the past and anymore I just fend them off if I see them coming. No idea why people think they’re entitled to touch me when I’m pregnant when they’d never do this if I weren’t.

Touch a pregnant woman? I don’t even ASK if a woman is preggers,
unless I can actually see the head crowning.

This is so silly. Yeah, I understand complete strangers rubbing a pregnant woman's belly is certainly inappropriate, but I really question how often this actually happens. More likely, I think women have gotten militant, as in, “get your laws off my body” and are basically ill-tempered.
Touching a pregnant woman's belly was always a sort of affectionate sign of support and shared joy of the impending birth of a child. And why do Liberals care anyway other than it gives them one more thing to whine about. Most don't want to carry a child to term anyway so they won't have to worry about this.
Just one more sign our society is turning sour.

Carrie Courter, also on CNN's Facebook page, said, "If he had touched her breasts without her permission it would be a non story, as that is not allowed. Why is her belly any different?"Oh boy, are liberals now so stupid we have to explain this to them?
That said, back in the stone age 50's and 60's, when my mom and her friends were having kids, I don't remember people doing this. It seems to have come into vogue with New Age, Alan Alda, Dr. Phil era. Except for my wife, I would never rub a pregnant woman's belly without permission. But I can't see charging someone with a crime unless they are a stranger creeping out a lady.

There is a universal legal defense.
Just say you’re an abortionist.

It takes a village.
Back in the day if someone laid hands on a woman, pregnant or not, he'd have to answer to the husband.
Now women aren't property any more. Or maybe they are? Community property. And a village has a lot of hands.

So touching an elbow or thigh is ok?
To: MeganC
See, years ago I did that once with a friend of my wife—”Pregnant huh? That’s great!”—and I rubbed her tummy.
She wasn’t. She wasn’t happy. No one was happy.

The maternity clothes worn these days are also much different than what women wore just a generation ago, when it wasn’t really too classy to wear skin-tight knits that showed every skin cell on the baby belly.

Is it still legal if you don’t know they’re pregnant?

Touch a pregnant woman? I dont even ASK if a woman is preggers, unless I can actually see the head crowning. My daughter and family, came to visit, I hadn't seen her in almost a year. I asked her, in all innocency, "Are you pregnant again"? Boy did I ever touch off a fire storm. She said, "NO, I'M NOT PREGNANT, I'M JUST GETTING FAT"
All caps, because she said it in all caps.

I would never rub a pregnant woman's belly without permission. I just don't understand this concept. I love to rub, and rub, and rub ANY and EVERY women's pregnant belly, murmuring something about 'tasty snack' and 'lots of protein' the entire time.
