Ingestion of these medications during pregnancy is proven to be harmful to developing fetuses, ineffective 4 the treatment of depression & WORSENS the symptoms of depression! The people who wrote this ridiculous legislation are lay people who know NOTHING about Pharmacology & even LESS about Psychiatry. How DARE they try to pass laws REQUIRING people to take medications harmful to their babies & to themselves! With no medical knowledge! And the RIGHT TO CONSENT TO TREATMENT? They need to be slapped back down to size & need to be told to get out of what is NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS nor within their sphere of knowledge & WORK ON IMPEACHING THE CROOKS IN OUR WHITE HOUSE! The dx of medical conditions & treatment should be left to the discretion of qualified MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, not to members of the Congress & the Senate unable to understand the US Constitution, much less the effects of potentially dangerous medications. http://myspace.com/magicstarer... 39515@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_1375.html#39516 Go here and look for the link to the "Stop the Barbaric Mother's Act" blog to see a picture of a Paxil baby: http://myspace.com/magicstarer... 39516@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 28 Jul 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_SN_1375.html#31679 These drugs are dangerous. With a background in midwivery, drugging a pregnant woman on any type of drug is dangerous for the unborn. In addition, these drugs CAUSE suicide, violence, etc. This is in violation of the Nuemburg Code, experimenting on the unborn. None of these drugs were ever approved by the FDA for children under 18 yrs old, let alone the unborn. In Britain psych drugs are BANNED on kids under 18 yrs old. This is just a scam for the billion dollar pharma to make more money. Already this is causing major birth defects.... 31679@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 24 Mar 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_SN_1375.html?rev=1123 <p>S. 1375 would ensure that new mothers and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services, and it would increase research at the National Institutes of Health on postpartum depression.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>(Log in to edit the wiki and be the first to provide a detailed summary of the bill!)</p> <!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --> <h2 id="toc1"> Status of the Legislation </h2> <p>Latest Major Action: 5/11/2007: Referred to Senate committee.
