Hmmmm... I will admit that you've swayed me with the freedom of speech argument. I'm sure that there are many things on LJ which I or my friends (one in particular comes to mind) might say that others on LJ would prefer banned. I would prefer it if such discussions continue to be allowed, and be pretty annoyed if they weren't.
As to your last point: no, breastfeeding isn't smut (by any normal definition), but it could be regarded as something icky. I find it mildly so. If someone repeatedly posted pictures of it at me in order to cause offense, I'd complain. However, I'd want rid of the user, rather than the pictures in general.
If a significant part of the community was throwing such pictures around in order to upset another part, then I'd think banning the pictures was appropriate (Doesn't apply if they're just making a statement).
