Pro-life groups are cheering an initiative from Pampers which is seeking to place 5,000 diaper changing tables in men's restrooms throughout the United States and Canada.
"Picture this...dad is out and about, enjoying quality time with his baby and the inevitable hits – diaper duty. Cue the search for a changing table, only for dad to find there's nowhere for him to change that stinky booty in the men's restroom," the Pampers company, a popular brand of baby and toddler products, said in an announcement of the initiative.
"It's an all too familiar story that's happening across the country, with new Pampers research revealing that 9 out of 10 dads have gone into a public restroom that has not had a baby changing table," Pampers added. "As part of its 'Love the Change' campaign, Pampers is proud to announce they're providing 5,000 changing tables for public restrooms across North America by 2021, so more dads and babies can #LoveTheChange together when they're out-and-about."
The initiative was inspired largely by the #SquatforChange campaign, which started after frustrated Florida father Donte Palmer posted a photo of himself, squatting on the floor of a public restroom and balancing his child on his knees while trying to change the child's diaper.
