HR20-New Mother’s Mandated Mental Health Test-JUST PASSED HOUSE!

Submitted by on April 21, 2009 – 11:00 pm55 Comments

constitutionburning1A 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 debate, 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. That is why we need you to help stop this. We urgently need you to call and email each Senator on the HELP Committee and tell them you STRONGLY OPPOSE the MOTHER’S ACT and that you are OUTRAGED that there was NO public debate or disclosure on the impact this would have on our society as a whole.

Please call the following Senators on the HELP Committee and tell them that you want the Mother’s Act to die in committee.

    Have you ever studied placenta medicine? The idea is to dehydrate, crush, and encapsulate a mothers fresh placenta. She then takes these placenta pills to “wean” her body off of progesterone to prevent the sudden drop and resulting mood shifts.
    I doubt there is funding to study this but I cannot see how it could hurt if moms are only ingesting thier own placentas.

    You are crazy, if you support government control then you obviously don’t give two craps about Habeas corpus, the very thing upon which our country is based, or the constitution. No one should have to have a license to become a parent, which would violate your right to bodily integrity, “screening” women for PPD is a good idea and should be available to women who need or want it, but I am uncomfortable with the government making it compulsory for all new Mothers. Just imagine it in your head:You are told by a hospital employee or government official that you will not be allowed to take your child home with you or, worse yet, have any contact with him/her unless you take the test or take medication. And if you refuse both, you, like I said, could be prohibited from seeing your child, or even worse lose custody of your infant to the system. Would you like that to happen to EVERY Mother in the nation?!?! There is nothing more frightening than the government telling you that you are unfit simply because you refused a test you may not even need, and that if you want to see your child(ren)or take them home you MUST take medication if you refuse the it.

    Umm…I don’t believe you. This would never pass. At least I would hope not.

    Please consider homebirth followed by a lying-in period where you can snuggle with your baby and establish a good nursing rhythm. Also never, ever restrict your diet in the first year after giving birth; anecdotally, many cases of ppd begin with the mother dieting.

    Those who forget history are destined to repeat it.

    Dr. Stewart, please remember the horrors of WW2 and educate yourself on just one of Hitler’s intentions that new mothers consider giving their children to the Furer until about age 7. Those children were referred to as “Hitler’s Youth”. Read about the brainwashing and the intentions for those youth to facilitate in Hitler’s new world order. There is certainly another New World Order that is coming to life right under our noses.

    That might seem like a stretch but remember that the general public is shielded from most of what is being planned in high places. We are spoon fed a little at a time – especially north Americans.

    Who would have believed just 50 years ago that a company called Monsanto would actually find a way to “patent life” and seek to control the seeds of the world, putting hundreds if not thousands of farmers out of business because they wanted to keep and clean their own seeds to plant the next year.. a practice as old as farming itself. And that’s just one nightmare that has come to fruition. There’s more.

    We all need to wake up!
