No one is advocating for a woman to get medication during pregnancy in this bill! This is a serious MENTAL illness affecting a woman’s whole life, and her family. Before anyone can knock the MOTHERS ACT do some research on PPD, PPS, and PMD. So many mothers are afraid to speak up about this horrible illness is because people don’t feel this is a disease! HAVE YOU EVER SPOKEN TO WOMEN WHO PHYSICALLY COULD NOT PICK UP HER NEWBORN BABY! Until you have, you shouldn’t have a stance on this issue! The bill is designed to CREATE AWARENESS for women of childbearing age, and everyone else about a very serious illness that affects 75-80 of women who have children. There are organizations out there that take up a minimal about of funding from the federal government and teach women about this serious public health issue. This Act funds them to teach PPD is a disease! JC do some research. Children are DYING and WOMEN ARE COMMITTING SUICIDE BECAUSE OF THIS DISEASE! We need Awareness!
