MOTHER’S ACT: mothers and children at risk!

February 11th, 2008
Take Action “THE MOTHER’S ACT” (S 1375) IS OPEN TO ABUSE

I just received this urgent message from CCHR. Please read on and ACT! Your urgent action is needed on a bill which has passed the House of Representatives. This bill is about to be voted on by the key Senate Committee in charge of this legislation.

It is called “The Mother’s Act” (S. 1375). Its purpose is, “To ensure that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services….” (Note: The mainstay of treatment of postpartum depression is antidepressants or other psychiatric drugs).

The bill is currently in the Senate HELP Committee (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions), which is scheduled to consider the bill this Thursday, February 14th. If approved, it will go to the floor of the full Senate for a vote (again, the House has already passed the bill, so this would be the last chance to stop it).

We must get emails into members of the Senate immediately - and it’s extremely easy: Just click here.

Spend 2 minutes and save some lives. This bill must be cancelled - rejected, pure and simple. This is another trick from the psychiatric hidden agenda to sell more drugs. Our expecting mothers and children are the most at risk because they are the easiest targets. Don’t let them become the “cash cow” of big pharma + psychiatric clique!
