Woman behind breastfeeding military mom pics gets canned

6/15/2012

From Mom2Mom 2 unemployment line? The woman behind the controversial photos of two servicewomen nursing their babies has been handed a pink slip from her civilian X-ray technician job. Crystal Scott, the spokeswoman for breastfeeding support group Mom2Mom, says her employer cited the controversy as the reason for her firing. What a boob! The women in the photos, which aimed to build support for nursing military moms in time for National Breastfeeding Week, have reportedly been reprimanded. "I feel like our organization is making positive changes for women all over the world," Scott told RightThisMinute. "To be punished for something that was good was unfortunate." So much for the milk of human kindness.
