Alberto, I am curious why your reaction is so
harsh?  Breast feeding in public is not porn, but
I do not feel that someone who objects to it, or 
considers it inappropriate is a sociopath, pervert 
or baby killer.  Nor do I feel that ONLY sociopaths, 
perverts and babykillers can think breastfeeding is 
obscene.  Would you agree that it is in bad taste
to use foul language, even though it is an expression 
of free speech that some feel is disrespectful and 
offensive, or are they just prudes who don't deserve 
to have an opinion?

NO way was she fully dressed! (although her nipples 
were covered)  I have never heard of a Facebook rule 
outlawing pictures of women breast feeding in public.  
Are you certain this, Alberto?

. . . ronn!  :)

You got me there Ronn!~)  Apologies for singling you out 
Debi, although you are the only woman who commented.  I 
have spotted a few brinlisters who have jumped ship over 
to Dr. Brin's Facebook page, where the discussion can get
rather heated. If David is on FB, it's can't be that bad!~)
