“THE MOTHER’S ACT” (H.R. 20/S. 1375) IS OPEN TO ABUSE
YOUR URGENT ACTION IS NEEDED on a bill moving through Congress called “The Mother’s Act” (H.R. 20/S. 1375), 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….” The House version of the bill (H.R. 20) passed the House and has been sent to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, where it has been scheduled for a vote in the coming weeks. Though proponents of the bill claim it is simply designed to “educate” new mothers, the truth is that this bill will push more mothers onto dangerous antidepressant drugs documented by the U.S. FDA to cause mania, psychosis, hallucinations and suicidal ideation as these drugs are the most common treatment for women diagnosed with depression or postpartum depression. Moreover, there is no language in this bill ensuring that new mothers would be given non-harmful treatments and real medical care other than drugs once “diagnosed.”
