If you are a member of Facebook and you support breastfeeding, and haven’t deleted your account in disgust over Facebook deleting photos and profiles of breastfeeding mothers who share photos of themselves breastfeeding, please join the Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding isn’t obscene group.
As of September 18th there are over 19,000 members. Please, join if you can!
The group’s information:
Recently, Facebook has started ‘pulling a myspace’ by not allowing people to post profile pictures of babies nursing. The pictures have been reported as ‘obscene’ and have been removed- their posters warned not to repost or fear being kicked off of Facebook.
We’re wondering: what about a baby breastfeeding is obscene? Especially in comparison to MANY other pictures posted all over Facebook that really are obscene.
Facebook, we expect more from you, and we expect you to realize that nursing moms everywhere have a right to show pictures of their babies eating, just like bottle-fed babies have a right to be seen. In an effort to appease the closed-minded, you are only serving to be detrimental to babies, women, and society.
