This video is from the Colorado Breastfeeding Coalition. Unfortunately it is partly sponsored by Medela, so that taints it somewhat, but from what I can see, the only mention to Medela is at the very end saying that they sponsored it.

A woman who becomes pregnant and does not breast-feed is actually putting herself at risk. So we can talk about [...]
