LEBANON - It's been a long eight years for Dana Bronner.
In 1997, Bronner was preparing to nurse her screaming 6-week-old son, Devin, by the women's dressing room in the Lebanon Wal-Mart when she was approached by an employee who asked her to go to the bathroom or leave.
"I asked her 'Would you eat your dinner in the bathroom?'" Bronner said.
It took a lawsuit, legislation and a years of hard work, but as of today, no mother in Ohio should have that problem again, legislators say.
Senate Bill 41 goes into effect today, protecting the right of mothers to breast-feed their babies in public places.
Although some complain breast-feeding is indecent, or that businesses should have the right to make the call, it will now be against the law to tell a nursing mother to leave the premises.
