Amanda Bouldin (born December 27,1984) is an American politician from Manchester,New Hampshire who has served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives since January 2015. Bouldin,a Democrat,represents Hillsborough County's 12th district. [1]
As a freshman representative,Bouldin introduced two bills addressing heroin use in New Hampshire. HB 270 provided legal protection against arrest and prosecution for individuals calling for medical assistance for someone with an opiate-related medical problem. [2] HB 271 relaxed restrictions on prescribing naloxone,granting authorized health care professionals the power to write a prescription for anyone at risk of an opiate overdose or for a person who knows someone at risk of an opiate overdose. [3]
In December 2015,Bouldin commented on Facebook that a proposed change in New Hampshire's public nudity law that would have allowed men to expose their nipples in public while prohibiting women from exposing their breasts while not breastfeeding was sexist. The comment drew crude comments about Bouldin's breasts from two Republican representatives,Josh Moore and Al Baldasaro. [4] [5] [6] [7]
In 2023,Bouldin assumed the role of New Hampshire Organizing and Recruitment Associate at Run for Something. [8]
The nipple is a raised region of tissue on the surface of the breast from which,in females,milk leaves the breast through the lactiferous ducts to breastfeed an infant. The milk can flow through the nipple passively or it can be ejected by smooth muscle contractions that occur along with the ductal system. Male mammals also have nipples but without the same level of function,and often surrounded by body hair.
Indecent exposure is the deliberate public exposure by a person of a portion of their body in a manner contrary to local standards of appropriate behavior. Laws and social attitudes regarding indecent exposure vary significantly in different countries. It ranges from outright prohibition of the exposure of any body parts other than the hands or face to prohibition of exposure of certain body parts,such as the genital area,buttocks or breasts.
Toplessness refers to the state in which a woman's breasts,including her areolas and nipples,are exposed,especially in a public place or in a visual medium. The male equivalent is known as barechestedness.
Clothing laws vary considerably around the world. In most countries,there are no laws which prescribe what clothing is required to be worn. However,the community standards of clothing are set indirectly by way of prosecution of those who wear something that is not socially approved. Those people who wear insufficient clothing can be prosecuted in many countries under various offences termed indecent exposure,public indecency,nudity or other descriptions. Generally,these offences do not themselves define what is and what is not acceptable clothing to constitute the offence,and leave it to a judge to determine in each case.
Same-sex marriage has been legal in New Hampshire since January 1,2010,based on legislation signed into law by Governor John Lynch on June 3,2009. The law provided that civil unions,which the state had established on January 1,2008,would be converted to marriages on January 1,2011,unless dissolved,annulled,or converted to marriage before that date.

In the United States,individual states have primary jurisdiction in matters of public morality. The topfreedom movement has claimed success in a few instances in persuading some state and federal courts to overturn some state laws on the basis of sex discrimination or equal protection,arguing that a woman should be free to expose her chest in any context in which a man can expose his. Other successful cases have been on the basis of freedom of expression in protest,or simply that exposure of breasts is not indecent.
