Am I allowed to post a link to the Facebook Fan page for people to be able to find out info / support my cousin? She's trying to gain public attention to force Johnny Rockets to educated their employees & become a breastfeeding friendly company. Not sure if that's ok by the UA or not to post??

Kentucky
Ky. Rev. Stat. § 29A.100 (2007) directs judges at all levels of the court to excuse women who are breastfeeding or expressing breast milk from jury service until the child is no longer nursing. (SB 111)
Ky. Rev. Stat. § 211-755 (2006) permits a mother to breastfeed her baby or express breast milk in any public or private location. Requires that breastfeeding may not be considered an act of public indecency, indecent exposure, sexual conduct, lewd touching or obscenity. Prohibits a municipality from enacting an ordinance that prohibits or restricts breastfeeding in a public or private place. (SB 106)

Thank you Emmeline for that great info!! I am always shocked to continue to find stories of nursing mothers being harassed. What a shame.

Wow! We won't eat there next time we're in Newport. We always go there for the Aquarium and there's a great pizza place I have bf openly at with support. Shame on Johnny Rockets!
