Call to Action: Psych Bill

[Guest guest]

Must

stop The Mothers Act (Senate Bill 1375).  Watch these

two short video clips then take action

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:

 

 2) Watch her newscast gathering support:

"The Mother's Act," 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….â€Â This bill will simply increase the number of new

mothers being put on antidepressant drugs documented by the U.S. FDA to

cause mania, psychosis, hallucinations, suicidal ideation and in some

cases, homicidal ideation.

There is no language in the bill requiring full

disclosure of the drug risks to mothers prescribed psychotropic drugs,

no language requiring mothers be given options for non-harmful

treatments and real medical care other than drugs. So please watch the

videos and pass on to all you know who are concerned with issues of

informed consent.

 

 

 

Now, please take

action:

1) Sign onto the petition against the

Mothers Act (Senate Bill 1375) here:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/stop-the-dangerous-and-invasive-mothers-act

2) The bill is currently in the Senate

Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and is scheduled for a

vote.  Faxes or calls are needed TODAY. You can follow the simple

instructions below.

a) Call each number below. Tell the

receptionist you want to leave a message for the Senator.

b) Tell them that you are opposed to

Senate Bill 1375 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.

c) If you fax, you can use the same

letter and simply add the Senator's name to the top of the fax, sending

each Senator his own fax.

Whether you call or fax, keep your

message simple. Use your

own words... keep it brief, mention the bill number — S. 1375.
