A group of women are taking their mission to “free the nipple” all the way to the US Supreme Court, a report said.
The trio of New Hampshire women are asking the nation’s highest court to strike down a ban on women appearing topless in public in the city of Laconia, arguing the ordinance violates the constitution by treating men and women differently, NBC News reported.
The legal fight began in 2016, when Ginger Pierro was arrested at a Laconia beach for performing yoga while topless.
A city ordinance bars “the showing of the female breast with less than a fully opaque covering any part of the nipple,” according to NBC.
Two other women, Heidi Lilley and Kia Sinclair, were busted three days later while baring their chests at the same beach in protest of Pierro’s arrest.
The women challenged their convictions all the way to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, but were defeated at every level.
They will now fight it in the US Supreme Court, which will decide in October if it will hear the case, according to the NBC report.
