Say NO to the MOTHERS Act (S. 1375)!!! to drug expecting and new mothers suspected of being at risk for post partum depression

…this is from the Care2 petition site: please sign petition

The MOTHERS ACT is a bill before the Senate, already passed by the House with only 3 “no” votes, which sets up a nation-wide screening and “education” campaign to encourage “antidepressant” drugs and other psychiatric drugs to pregnant and new moms. If this passes, we could see similar drugging rates to that of the non-mandated Teen Screen program, which results in prescriptions for 90% of people who take the screening test.

The FDA Confirms that “antidepressant” drugs double the risk of suicide (at minimum) while numerous medical studies suggest the risk of suicide and violence against others is astronomically high on an antidepressant.

Antidepressants have also been proven to be no more effective than placebo. Additionally they pose a serious threat to babies whose mothers take them during pregnancy and nursing, with pregnancy exposure behind many cases of spontaneous abortion, preterm birth, stillbirth, and serious birth defects and SIDS.

The full press release follows.
After you sign this petition, please read and distribute the press release which is found at http://uniteforlife.org/MOTHERpress.htm
and go copy the contact information for the 21 senators on the HELP Committee (which still needs to examine the bill before it can be considered by the full Senate).

Please fax, call, and email the committee members, and spread this petition to your friends and loved ones.

Unless you want to see suicides, infanticides, SIDS, heart surgeries for newborns, miscarriage, preterm birth, and fatal PPHN in newborns increase in the USA, not to mention MORE mass murders like the four we have seen in the last week at campuses across the country, you will want to sign the petition and do everything in your power to stop this bill.

The bill was initiated to honor a victim of psychiatric drug-induced suicide whose death has ironically been used to promote a pharmaceutical agenda. It puts all Americans, especially women and children, at risk, and it invades our privacy like never before.

Keep the government OUT of our minds and bodies. Say NO to the MOTHERS Act (S. 1375)!!!

(Note, if you are in favor of 2nd amendment rights, this bill will also endanger your right to have a gun. The screening test will inevitably misdiagnose millions of women, and it’s now illegal to buy a gun if you have a “history of mental illness.”)
