BRANDING PREGNANCY AS

MENTAL ILLNESS

The Mothers Act is pending legislation that will indoctrinate
hundreds of thousands of mothers into taking dangerous psych
drugs. It is a great example of how the Big Pharma lobby controls
Congress to the detriment of health, as well as needlessly and
dramatically inflating the costs of our health care system for
everyone. Like any piece of legislation it purports to address a
troubling issue – in this case the mood distress of mothers
following birth known as postpartum depression. It is true that
10% - 15% of women need some assistance in dealing with
this topic – but the majority of them sure don’t need it from
Big Pharma. That is the Big Lie.

The Mothers Act (S. 1375: Mom's Opportunity to Access
Health, Education, Research, and Support for Postpartum
Depression Act) has the net affect of reclassifying the natural
process of pregnancy and birth as a mental disorder that requires
the use of unproven and extremely dangerous psychotropic
medications (which can also easily harm the child). Urgent
consumer action (see below) is needed to stop this atrocity, as
the Senate could now vote any day.

It is my understanding that the process of birth, the intimate
bonding of mother and child, and the placing of significant
responsibility on the father is all part of a healthy culture and
the backbone of the fabric that makes strong families and
consequently our great nation. I fail to see why we need laws
that force health care professionals to emphasize the idea that
the process is some type of mental illness affecting 80% of all
women – what a bogus pile of crap.

The Mothers Act proposes sweeping and dramatic changes in
the delivery of pregnancy care by all health professionals. It
demands that health professionals indoctrinate pregnant women
into mental health treatment options for mild depression-like
symptoms experienced during or following pregnancy, including
moderate symptoms they call “baby blues” which they say affects
80% of pregnant women. In other words, this is a massive federate
health mandate to get the majority of pregnant and nursing
mothers on psych drugs – a new target market for Big Pharma.
