Philo's nightmare experience with Zoloft (including homicidal and suicidal
urges, a hallucination, and involuntary hospitalization),

Please help now by
calling the Senate / faxing Senators in protest to help kill the bill and get it off
the table completely.
If we want to
help moms there are many good ways to do it, none of which were
written in the text we have seen. This bill will destroy the future
of our country.
(Ask those Republican Senators: How can you be both pro-life and
pro-MOTHERS Act? If you haven't spoken out against this by now then you must not
get how the psychiatric industry works!)
