Texsox Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 ORLANDO, Florida - An appeals court has ruled that women can demonstrate topless as part of a legitimate political protest, striking down the arrest of a woman who has repeatedly flouted laws banning women from publicly going bare breasted. The Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Appeals on Oct. 5 upheld a county judge's opinion that Elizabeth Book could protest topless on the city's Main Street Bridge. Book was arrested by Daytona Beach police and fined $253 during Bike Week in March 2004. The city said she violated an ordinance banning public nudity that was passed in 2002 to curb indecency at special events. Linked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things would get a little perky with the weather around here this week... I'll never understand why so many Americans are so uncomfortable with the human body. That hoopla about the picture of a mother breast feeding, perhaps the most natural thing in the world, on the cover of PARENTHOOD magazine still baffles me.
