if any of you are sad enough to be on facebook as well, look out for this online petition to facebook about breasfeeding photos.

Hey, Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!(Official petition to Facebook)
Type:
Common Interest - Beliefs & Causes
Description:
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.

Facebook, allow breastfeeding pictures, and stop classifying them as obscene!
