As part of another project for World Breastfeeding Week/Breastfeeding Awareness Month, I made business-card templates for the 50 US states; actually, I should say 49 US states plus Washington DC (Idaho does not have a law that gives a woman a right to breastfeed in public -- only one that may exempt her from jury duty).
Feel free to download and print, and of course share online and in real life! If you spot any errors, please let me know as I did a lot of this while entertaining/nursing my own busy toddler!

I love this & would like to thank you, but Wisconsin is no woman can be accused of indecent exposure also. I just called the courthouse and made them look it up for me so I know when I go back home!!

Many states also have laws stating breastfeeding in public is not indecent exposure, or lewd, etc. Many have laws regarding serving on a jury, and of course pumping/workplace laws. For this project, I only included the public part, and anything additional is space permitted.

These are great. Thank YOU for providing this info to nursing mothers. I wish I had them when my boys were babies.

I threw a dinner party for 60 at a restaurant and mentioned to the manager of my niece and her infant. Management offered us a small room for privacy. Needless to say, that 'promised room' was quickly given away (to men drinking alcohol), therefore my neice was denied. In a letter I wrote, the restaurant manager replied: "How is that our problem?" Not only was it rude to "deny us access for privacy for my neice to breastfeed", but to reply with such insensitivity is far beyon accepting!

I made them to fit US size business cards -- I think there are subtle differences in sizing, so that is what I tried to make them. Thanks! I hope they are useful to you!

I'd love to have the Virginia card updated since they've recently changed their laws. Is this possible? Thank you!

Some states have enacted laws which excuse nursing mothers from jury service. I’m so thankful for your helpful post!
