Get your shit together, Nevada! Boobs have their own schedule! You are denying babies the very best by refusing to excuse nursing women from jury duty! "Allowing" them to pump when it is convenient for the court to break messes up a woman's pumping schedule and reduces demand, thereby reducing production. (This isn't for me. I'm upset for a family member.) According to the NCSL website, only 15 states excuse nursing mothers. (California, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Dakota and Virginia.) Pardon my....passion...but WHAT THE HELL?! That is unacceptable.
If you live in one of the other 35 states, I encourage you to be aware, spread the word, and write your state representatives. Just last October a nursing mother in Missouri was held in contempt because she couldn't get daycare and her baby won't take a bottle. Are we going to let that stand?
