From birthwithoutboundaries.com:
URGENT ALERT
In a move that surprised her supporters, Senator Connie Williams gutted her own public breastfeeding bill in the Pennsylvania Senate on May 21st by introducing an amendment which strikes the language “protecting the right [to breastfeed]” and replaces it with “permitting a mother the freedom.” In all other places in the bill where the word “right” was used, Williams had it struck and replaced it with the word “freedom.”
Williams also amended her own bill to strike the entire section which would have forbidden local governments from passing ordinances prohibiting breastfeeding thus leaving all Pennsylvania women vulnerable to the whim of local governments and allowing local governments to make public breastfeeding illegal.
As a result of this amendment, Birth Without Boundaries has withdrawn its support for Senate Bill 34 and will actively oppose it. We encourage all breastfeeding supporters to express their opinion concerning Senator Williams‘ action to her and to tell your state senators that Bill 34 is no longer a proposal for a law that would protect the right to breastfeed in public in Pennsylvania.
No law is better than a bad law. We will work tirelessly in the Pennsylvania House to get a public breastfeeding bill that will truly protect the rights of breastfeeding women and their children, and search for a Pennsylvania state senator to introduce it in the senate.
Please contact Senator Williams to voice your displeasure ASAP!
