CNN: Finally, men and women might be able to share diaper duty more easily.
This month, President Barack Obama signed the Bathrooms Accessible in Every Situation Act, or the BABIES Act, which requires diaper-changing facilities in male and female restrooms in public federal buildings, such as Social Security offices, courthouses and post offices.

The law doesn't cover restrooms that aren't in public buildings, such as restaurants or retailers, and those in buildings that can't safely support changing facilities.
