New Law Bans Strangers From Touching Your Pregnant Belly (what your thoughts?) I guess I was pretty lucky as a preggers lady: Strangers groping my belly were never a problem. In fact, I dont think a single person I didnt know ever attempted to touch my bump without asking; acquaintances who thought, mistakenly, that they knew me well enough to invade my personal space were more of an annoyance. Not every mom-to-be is quite so lucky, however -- particularly those in Pennsylvania, where a law was just passed banning strangers from touching pregnant womens bellies. Whoa! What the heck is going on in Pennsylvania, exactly, to necessitate the passing of such a law? Are hordes of bandit belly-gropers roaming the streets, terrorizing expectant moms?? Not exactly, as it turns out: The law was inspired by one case involving harrassment charges against a man accused of unwanted tummy-touching. But the legislation brings up an interesting point ... why do people think its perfectly fine to just walk right up to a woman theyve never met before and rub her stomach as if a genie might pop out? And, for that matter, why do people think its perfectly fine to just walk right up to someone they sort of know casually and rub her stomach as if a genie might pop out?
