3 New Hampshire women are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that a city ordinance banning women from appearing topless in public violates the Constitution by treating men and women differently.
WASHINGTON — Three New Hampshire women are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that a city ordinance banning women from appearing topless in public violates the Constitution by treating men and women differently.
All three challenged their convictions but lost in the New Hampshire courts. Now they're asking the Supreme Court to hear their appeal when the court's new term begins in October. The New Hampshire Supreme Court rejected their challenge, acknowledging that the law treats men and women differently. But in February, the federal appeals court for the Tenth Circuit struck down a topless ban in Fort Collins, near Denver.
