DENVER -- Gov. Bill Owens has signed a law making it legal
for a mother to breast-feed an infant in public in Colorado. The new law, which took effect immediately upon Owens' signature
Friday, specifies that "a mother may breast-feed in any place she
has a right to be."
The measure co-sponsored by Sen. Deanna Hanna, D-Lakewood, Rep.
Pam Rhodes, R-Thornton, also says breast-feeding "is a basic and
important act of nurturing that should be encouraged in the
interests of maternal and infant health."
