YouTube Bans Breast-feeding Video

The great breast-feeding debate raged on Tuesday, after YouTube's removal of a breast-feeding video sparked yet another nursing controversy, according to a mothers' group, reports Seattle Post Intelligencer.

"YouTube is the latest new media site to ban nursing images, following actions at MySpace and Facebook, according to the League of Maternal Justice. Bill Maher stoked the breast-feeding fire when he compared public nursing to masturbation earlier this year.

The folks at the League of Maternal Justice weren't totally surprised that YouTube banned the clip, which was viewed at least 68,000 times before disappearing, but they were upset."
