Ohio anti-abortion leader: Ban public nudity, breastfeeding because boobs promote Gay Pride

A prominent pro-life activist has called to ban all public nudity because he said that topless dancers who protested at his church had committed an “offense to God.”

At least six bare-breasted women and other supporters of the Foxhole North club marched in front of the New Beginnings Ministries church in Warsaw earlier this month after the church spent nine years coming to their club to protest nudity.

Dr. Patrick Johnson, who is director of the anti-abortion group Personhood Ohio, responded to the protests by asking Ohioans to call the legislature in support of banning “all public nudity in the state,” according to WSYX.

“I am sick that women can legally bare their breasts to children and to married men against their will in Ohio,” he wrote on his Facebook page following last week’s protest.

Sounds to me like he and his congregation wouldn't have wound up face to face with bare breasts if they hadn't constantly been hanging out in front of a topless club for the last nine years. I think the dancers should keep coming out on Sundays until he agrees to stop hanging around outside of their club.

which is usually where this stuff starts. With the repressor's own impulses.

But your point is also well-taken.

“I am sick that men can legally bare their breasts to children and to married women against their will in Ohio.”

If he's going to be prudish - at least women have a functional reason for being topless. What's his excuse for exposing women to that vulgarity?

And the church is a load of fringy Fundies.

Best thing to happen to Warsaw, OH in years, all this publicity.

Behaving like... like... mammals! Nursing a baby should never be allowed because it involves the disgusting mammalian practice of baring breasts in the presence of a child.

I thought that's what they were for, actually. Hmm...maybe my biology classes were wrong. Imagine that. And "to married men," too. I'm sure their husbands are pleased, as well. An odd comment from this moron, I think.

So much so that John Ashcroft had to resort to these extreme measures to protect the public from their sinister allure:

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/01/29/statues.htm

No longer will the attorney general be photographed in front of two partially nude statues in the Great Hall of the Department of Justice.

The department spent $8,000 on blue drapes that hide the two giant, aluminum art deco statues, said spokesman Shane Hix. For aesthetic reasons, he said, the drapes were occasionally hung in front of the statues before formal events. The department used to rent the drapes, but has now purchased them and left them hanging.
