Strangers wanting to touch your belly is something almost every pregnant woman goes through. It’s often awkward and always a bit of a social faux pas.
Now in the state of Pennsylvania, it’s also against the law.
A man is facing harassment charges for doing just that, and Keystone State lawmakers felt so strongly about it that they passed legislation to prevent it.

That alone makes it a win, albeit a bit of an overreach.
Don’t ask us why a person would go groping the stomach of someone they don’t know. It’s like George from Seinfeld and his “fabric feel” move. Only worse.
Apparently this is a bad enough trend that one state had to formally stop it, in any case. So quit rubbing cute baby bumps of people you don’t know … cute as they may be.
