Now they want to give Pregnant women antidepressants while they are PREGNANT to prevent against post-partum!!!!  Why not just kill the baby before it's born.  Wouldn't it be simpler?????  These people, in my opinion are nothing more than legal murderers.Please sign this petition to STOP the MOTHER'S ACT and call your Senators!.
Note that Barack Obama is a cosponsor. Please call his Senate office and his Presidential campaign office to complain bitterly. He, McCain, and Clinton are all equally despicable corporate shills. I am in touch with Amy Philo, the courageous woman who sounded the alarm on this and have put her in touch with Genita Petralli who I am working with to turn the City of Santa Cruz CA into a Psychiatric Drug Free Zone (See http://www.greenbodyandmind.com
 
Subject: URGENT Mothers Act: Watch videos and take action by calling your Senators- see list below
 
Vital information regarding the Mothers Act

There are two videos in this email about "The Mother's Act" (S. 1375), a federal bill that is dangerous to mothers and their newborns but being promoted under the guise of ensuring that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services….This is quuite simply, false, and the video shows exactly the effect this bill will have; it will push more mothers onto dangerous antidepressant drugs documented by the U.S. FDA to cause mania, psychosis, hallucinations, suicidal ideation and in some cases, homicidal ideation (as with the antidepressant Effexor).  There is no language in the bill requiring full disclosure of the drug risks to mothers prescribed psychotropic drugs, (the most common "treatment" for mothers diagnosed with post partum depression), no language requiring mothers be given options for non-harmful treatments and real medical care other than drugs. So please watch the videos, take action and above all — pass this email on to everyone you know.

 1) Watch one mother's story of what happened to her when she was "helped" by the same type of psychiatric intervention that this bill proposes:

Whether you call or fax, keep your message simple

You are opposed because of the damage that will be done to mothers and infants due to the treatment that will result from the legislation. There is no language in the bill warning that the psychotropic drugs prescribed for "depression" can cause damage to both mother and child and that this is a complete violation of informed consent. (Use your own words... Keep it brief, mention the bill number — S. 1375.
