Vote No on S 324: Melanie Blocker Stokes Mom's Opportunity to Access Health, Education, Research, and Support for Postpartum Depression Act.
This sweeping government policy for all new births in the United States has just passed the House of Representatives and is now headed to the Senate. The Mother’s Act, if passed, will mandate that all new mothers be screened by means of a list of subjective questions that will determine if each mother is mentally fit to take their newborn home from the hospital. Just imagine that after your child is born, you are told that you can't take them home since a multiple choice questionnaire wasn't answered correctly. Just imagine being told that the only way you can take your child home is if you or your spouse goes into treatment or on anti-depressants which we know causes psychosis, delusions, and even homicidal thoughts. It just doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, this bill is on a fast track - No public disclosure of the broad impact on our society and that is why we need you to act now!
The Mother's Act violates our Constitutional right to privacy and your right to liberty and it is just outright dangerous.
I doubt very many of you have heard of this bill and why would that be, it seems very serious, that is because the fourth estate is dead.

I thought this was a joke so I googled the bill. It DOES exist. I only read it quickly but it does seem to allow the application of a test that could result in a new mother being required to "feel better" or "learn" some things or take some medicines before being allowed to take her child home from the hospital. I would love to see other people's view of this bill that - like so many bills - sounds nice but seems to have some provisions that would allow the government to run more of our lives than they should.

yeah -- let's not give away more of our personal freedoms to come "well-meaning" but stupid bureaucrat.
unsafe bullcrap... i didn't say that, i said something else stupid crap., in a baby in mother's breast milk, you know when they breast feed the baby.
This is an absolutely outrageous act. This is just further proof that the government, more aptly described as the pharmeceutical and corporate run "puppet" government's real agenda is to get more and more Americans "hooked", dependent on drugs. This dependency on pharmeceutical garbage generates a HUGE source of revenue for the government as well as the companies. It also makes Americans more "docile" and less inclined to revolt against the "puppet" government.
