Dear Friends,

Politics being what they are, a development has just arisen which will
put The

MOTHERS Act to a vote in the US Senate THIS WEEK. The bill will be

introduced this Friday with an anticipated vote this Saturday.

Here is the story in brief: the majority leader of the Senate, Harry
Reid, has

bundled up a large number of pending bills into one package (referred to
as an

"omnibus bill") and is seeking to get a vote on the whole package of
bills under

the name of the “Coburn Omnibus Bill” (that’s the unofficial name,
officially

the bill is known as the “Advancing America’s Priorities Act”).

Even though the Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act is named for a

If this bill allows the government to drug without consent we are
taking a wrong turn. What is it with these drugs and such certainty
that it is the scientifically correct thing to do? How did we survive
as a species before drugs?

The pro-birthers and Co$ types seem to be in a tizzy over the fact
that some mothers develop post-partum depression or post-partum

fantasy world, motherhood is perfect, nothing ever goes wrong, no
mom ever harms her children. And Andrea Yates never existed.

Well the hysteria of the original poster does not seem overly
justified by the actual study of the bill.

OTOH, we are becoming more pharmacized. It is partially due to
strong lobbying on the part of the pharmacuetical industry. How much
is due to solid science and how much do to the lobbying activities is
hard to tell.

I do know it is hard to get funding for research into new uses of
drugs that are no longer protected by patents. With the amount of

Quoting the article: "The FDA Confirms that "antidepressant" drugs double
the risk of suicide (at minimum) while numerous medical studies suggest the
risk of suicide and violence against others is astronomically high on an
antidepressant."

From 2X to astronomical in one step - a sure sign of a lie.

It is the discontinuation of certain anti-depressants that leads to suicidal
tendencies. A sad fact is that certain anti-depressants stop working after a
while but the patient cannot discontinue taking them because of the profound
negative effects of discontinuation. In fact, discontinuing the medication
brings about a state of mind that was worse than that being treated.
