Facebook has done it again!

Yet again Facebook has taken our publishing rights away!

The original "If breastfeeding offends you, put a blanket over YOUR head!" group had over 300,000 members. Facebook removed our publishing rights for no apparent reason and I began a new group by the same name. That new group reached only 30,000 fans. Yet again I have logged into Facebook to discover that my publishing rights were removed. At this point, I don't feel it is worth the effort to start *another* group. Please feel free to stick around on this blog as a source for information and hopefully some giveaways in the future. And thank you to everyone who supported the Facebook group!

Facebook took away our publishing rights!

Facebook has taken away our ability to post on our facebook group!

I've started a new one here. I would appreciate it if you all joined and invited your friends. If you would like to remain updated on our giveaways and other news, join the new page.

We did NOT let facebook stop us when they removed our breastfeeding photos. We did NOT let them stop us when trolls spammed our page with hateful messages and pornography. And we will NOT let them stop us this time either!

How the Facebook group got started: 200,000+ fans, trolls, prudes, and Australian morning news

Founded in January 2010, "If Breastfeeding offends you, put a blanket over YOUR head!" is a relatively new facebook fan page that has grown to become enormously popular. Only 2 months after its creation it already boasts over 220,000 fans and has been mentioned by several news outlets including Australia's #1 morning news show, Sunrise, and ABC statewide radio in Australia. As far as we know, no major US news sources have mentioned us.

"If breastfeeding offends you..." was started as a fan page for mothers who weren't afraid to nurse their babies any time and any place they needed to, and for those that support a woman's right to feed her baby in peace without being harassed by ignorant people telling her to cover up or go nurse in a bathroom. As the group began getting thousands of new fans everyday those fans began posting lovely pictures of themselves feeding their infants the way nature intended. Then the controversy began as facebook resumed their notorious practice of deleting breastfeeding photos for "nudity" (despite the fact that facebook is plastered with soft porn ads and half naked tweens). Some mothers even had their accounts deleted, including one of our moderators. To this day we continue posting our pictures because we know that we are right.

Our group still continues to be plagued by ignorant comments, trolls who post pornography and call us pedophiles, and people reporting our beautiful pictures. But we won't be stopped. We are women. We are mothers. We are lactivists. And we are strong.
