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 weeks protest.

(14,733 posts)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.

But your point is also well-taken.

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?

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.
