We the people ask the federal government to Call on Congress to act on an issue:

Pardon Heather Watson of her 7 year sentence and registration as a sex offender for breastfeeding her newborn in public.

Created by S.H. on September 04, 2016

Her sentencing in Idaho set a precedent for current and future mothers, prohibiting them from providing food and sustenance to their children that are still being breastfed. Idaho is currently the only state that has yet to pass a law allowing mothers to breastfeed in public without the consequences of indecent exposure. Women should have the right, without fear of recourse, to provide for their children.

Please pardon Heather Watson, and set a new precedent, allowing for breastfeeding mothers to provide for their children, free of recourse and punishment.
