One or two are vaguely pornographic shots of naked women holding babies.

Someone please explain to me how a photo of breasts and a baby is pornographic.

Dictionary.com defines pornography as:

"Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal."

Yes, I am sure that was the intent behind these mother and baby photos.

In the beginning of society, the earth, etc what was first? Well, not that I was around back then to know, but I am pretty sure that mothers/babies/breastfeeding were around before pornography. Yet in today's world the latter is given precedence over human instinct. Something that began with time is now knocked down to a lower rung in society and associated with something that came later in time. There is an obvious lack of respect for breastfeeding in this "modern" world.

Those pictures are so beautiful-and they are also empowering, which is what I think is at the heart of the problem. When I see pictures of women nursing,especially tandem nursing, I feel empowered. I am reminded that what I am doing for my babies is normal. I don't feel ashamed or feel like its something that should be hidden away. I am comforted knowing that there are other women out there like me, just doing what comes naturally.

Someone at Facebook has a serious problem with women, and I sure hope they are found out, exposed, and prosecuted.

What gets me is that they are implying that what I do with my infant son 5-8 times a day is sexual. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.

If my son breastfeeding makes them horny, that's THERE problem, not mine.
