Also, I found a great link to a site which is posting many of the photos banned from Facebook. It is breathtaking and angering to see what Facebook has deemed "indecent" and removed from members' personal profiles. View the gallery of offending images here.

On Wednesday, the CBS Early Show did a segment covering the ongoing bruhaha over breastfeeding photos on Facebook. It features guest Andi Silverman of the blog Mama Knows Breast, who does an excellent job of defending our right to breastfeed in public. Check it out:

Sadly, I totally missed this bruhaha. Great news clip. Facebook needs a reality check. It doesn't matter how much boob is exposed it still doesn't make breastfeeding indecent.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the follow up to this story and the link to the photos ... which are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking to this clip. I think it summed up the "controversy" well.
ReplyDeleteI believe that breastfeeding is a beautiful gift to provide to your child. I nursed my daughter for almost two years and she's healthy, smart, and secure. I plan to nurse into toddlerhood with my second child as well.
That said, I do think that some measure of propriety is important. Breastfeeding is not obscene, but fully exposed breasts are not appropriate. Although I support legislation that allows mothers to breastfeed in public, I do think mothers should do their best to keep the matter as private as possible.
