TAKE ACTION NOW!!!
PLEASE SEE OUR HOME PAGE FOR LINKS TO CURRENT EFFORTS TO STOP THIS BILL.

"THE MOTHER'S ACT" (HR 20) IS OPEN TO ABUSE

http://www.capwiz.com/cchr/issues/alert/?alertid=10099911

YOUR URGENT ACTION IS NEEDED on a bill quickly moving through Congress called "The Mother's Act" (H.R. 20) that calls for pregnant women to be screened for mental disorders and new mothers to be screened for "postpartum depression," resulting in their being prescribed dangerous antidepressants or other psychiatric drugs. A Senate Bill and a House Bill were introduced this year. The House Bill is right now in the Energy and Commerce Committee and a vote is expected within days, whereupon it will go to the House floor next week. The bill provides more appropriations for NIH to conduct research into "postpartum depression" and biological treatments (drugs).

If you are familiar with the story of Amy Philo, UNITE Founder, or of any of the moms who have killed their kids while taking SSRIs, you can see how potentially damaging additional invasions will be. How tragic that psychiatry is invading a time in a woman's life when she is most delicate and vulnerable and needs support, not drugs and insults and a lack of understanding.
