Breastfeeding in the gym: It's a civil right!

It's natural. It's every Ohioan's civil right!

Commission says woman had right to breast-feed in gym

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A woman had a right to breast-feed her baby at a health club despite a manager's objections, the Ohio Civil Rights Commission has ruled.

Anna Swank filed a discrimination complaint last August against Lifestyle Family Fitness in nearby Reynoldsburg after a female manager told her that it was inappropriate for Swank to nurse her then-6-month-old son in the gym's child care room, according to the complaint.

The manager threatened to revoke Swank's privileges to use the child care service and she was told to go to a locker room, Swank said.

"I was in my workout clothes and was completely covered," said Swank, 33, of the Columbus suburb of Blacklick.

The state civil rights commission found probable cause that the health club discriminated against Swank, executive director G. Michael Payton said. The ruling means that enough evidence exists to document the claim.

A 2005 Ohio law gives legal protection to public breast-feeding and says nursing must be allowed in any place that accommodates the public.

It's a natural thing to do so what's the problem?

So is my spooge. That's the deal.

I would't want other people's bodily fluids flying around somewhere I might have to be either.

Exactly. Pissing is as normal as it gets. That doesn't mean I can whip it out in the daycare at the Y and piss all over the toy box.

She should've just taken it to the locker room.

I thought we were talking about the gym. And a child-care room at the gym at that.

Yep I found out about this law when I got hired at my current job. I am about the lowest level of Law enforcement but I am law enforcement none the less. Women can breast feed and technically show their breasts and you can't do a thing about it because breasts are not technically considered a private part or genitals. Now if a lady flashes the beav....thats a different story. However a man's johnsonville brat is considered his genitals so therefore you are not allowed to expose it to the public.

Tell that to Janet Jackson and CBS.

We'll do. :tongue2: Seriously though I'm sure Buckin' A would be able to address the issue better than I because he is big time Law enforcement but I just thought I would add my 2 cents because I am technically supposed to know some of this stuff.

Tell that to Janet Jackson and CBS.

The act of feeding one's child is usually not considered to be sexually provocative. It is simply feeding a child. Jacksons show was considered as sexually stimulating mainly because the guy uncovered it.
What would you be doing in a child care room anyway ? lol

Yeah, my conviction on this issue doesn't run deep. I just get annoyed at the "it's natural, so deal with it" line. It was obviously upsetting people, so take it in private.

This thread is worthless without pics.......err not

Just because you asked Golfer.

OF course there are. The trick is to find one at a gym. If you start now and personally check every breast in the gyms you might find one today lmao. Better hurry!

True story. I was coaching a ladies HS varsity basketball game in Charleston. The opposing coach, a women obviously, did some feeding a couple of times during the game. We, of course, won.
