local woman says her rights were violated when she tried to breast-feed in a public place. Nevada law clearly states that a woman can breast-feed and she doesn't have to be covered up.
Two weeks ago a woman was breast-feeding her baby in the lobby of a North Las Vegas recreation center when city employees told her she had to do it in the bathroom. Now she's back to tell them why they're wrong.
Most of us don't know what NRS 201.232 is, but the women who were out protesting Thursday know this section of Nevada law by heart. "The law allows any woman who's breast-feeding her child to nurse her baby anywhere she's legally permitted to be, whether or not her breast shows."
Beth Wishengrad says while she was breast-feeding in the Silver Mesa Recreation Center, one North Las Vegas city employee told her to cover it up. Another suggested a designated breast-feeding area, and a third said she should have been escorted to the bathroom.
