I’m not a Christian, and I’m not into dissing other people’s beliefs, but I have to confess that I’ve never quite bought the thing about immaculate conception. One thing I feel quite confidant about though, if there was a baby Jesus, he was probably a hungry little guy and needed to be fed.
And just a guess, but I’m thinking his mama didn’t have the option of buying formula so she probably breastfed him. Which makes the timing of the following protest against Facebook, sponsored by M.I.L.C. (Mothers International Lactation Campaign) during the holiday season just perfect–it is way past time that Facebok get a clue–feeding a child is a sacred act–censoring images of said act is obscene:
PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A “VIRTUAL” EVENT AND DOES NOT REQUIRE ATTENDANCE AT A LOCATION…
i.e.: There is no reason to not attend! read on…Facebook continues to classify breastfeeding photos as obscene content. They continue to arbitrarily remove these photos from member albums and profiles, accompanied by warnings of account termination. This is highly discriminatory and an affront to nursing mothers everywhere. In protest of this, Mothers International Lactation Campaign (M.I.L.C.) has planned a virtual day of protest.
Not only is human lactation responsible for the very survival of our species, it is in no way a sexually explicit, lewd or despicable act. It is also protected by law in most countries, including specifically the state where Facebook is headquartered in the USA.
In protest to the discriminatory and unjust policy of Facebook administration classifying breastfeeding images as obscene content, on December 27th, 2008 M.I.L.C. is asking all of you to change your profile picture for one day, to one which includes an image of a nursing mom.
This could be a picture of you or someone you know nursing a child, it could be a painting or image of a sculpture of a breastfeeding woman, it could also be a photo or image of any nursing mammal….We ask that you include the status line of “Hey Facebook, breastfeeding is not obscene!”
In addition to this ‘virtual nurse-in’, there will be other events planned around the globe. Please check this page often for regular updates and added information. We will also be including images that you can use for your profile picture on December 27th.
Babies everywhere thank you for your support!!!!!
