Dear Friends and Allies,
As you may know by now, the federal MOTHERS Act (H.R. 20) passed the House of Representatives recently by a
vote of 391-8. It is now in the Senate and the timetable they are pushing for is to pass it and get it signed into law by
May 10th, Mother's Day.
TAKE ACTION NOW TO STOP THE MOTHERS ACT! Four things you can do right now:

REASONS WHY THE MOTHERS ACT MUST NOT BE PASSED
(http://tinyurl.com/StopMAReasons)
The MOTHERS Act specifically:
1) Calls for the development of improved "screening and diagnostic techniques" with no specification if these are to be
strictly psychological (in other words, questionnaires based upon a DSM checklist). So there is no credible evidence
that women will be checked for physical conditions such as thyroid conditions, hormonal imbalances or other real
physical conditions.
2) Calls for government-funded national public service announcements (PSAs) through television, radio, and other
means for "raising awareness about screening," and for "educating new mothers and their families about postpartum
conditions to promote earlier diagnosis and treatment." So considering postpartum depression is usually considered a
"mental" condition, this means that the government will now be funding free psycho/pharma ads for the mental health
industry.
Coincidentally - there are currently 50 clinical drug trials ongoing for the "treatment" of postpartum depression. In other
words - this could turn into a big money maker for Pharma - with government-sanctioned PSAs and drugs promoted to
specifically "treat" postpartum depression (that are already in the pipeline).
3) Calls for a major "education" campaign in health centers for new mothers and, to promote "earlier diagnosis and
treatment... before new mothers leave the health facility."
What does all of this mean? It means more women put on drugs. It means more infants subjected to drugs.
Regardless of the hype from the psycho/pharma industry and many groups with vested interests in pushing this agenda
- more screening and more drugs being promoted to treat "postpartum" depression means more mothers on drugs -
both during and after pregnancy.
Already, doctors, pharmacists, health care providers and consumers have filed reports with the FDA on the serious
damage and deaths to infants caused by pregnant women taking these drugs.
These are the adverse reactions in pregnant mothers taking SSRI antidepressants between 2004 and 2007 reported to
the FDA:
Spontaneous Abortions: 145
Premature Babies: 150
Heart Disease: 208
Birth Defects: 218
Look at the figures. Now times them by one hundred. Because, by the FDA's own admission, only 1-10% of the actual
side effects are ever reported to the FDA.
Using a figure of only 5% reported these would be the actual statistics:
Spontaneous Abortions: 2900
Premature Babies: 3000
Heart Disease: 4160
Birth Defects: 4360
That is a LOT of damage to mothers and children.
If you ever wanted a time to step up to the plate and make a real difference, you have it. Because the time is now.
ML,
Jeff
