HR20-New Mother's Mandated Mental Health Test-JUST PASSED HOUSE!
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-324
A 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 homocidal 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.
Send a letter by going here: http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1918/t/7870/campaign.js...
Please call the following Senators on the HELP Committee and tell them that you want the Mother's Act to die in committee.

I like that
Though, brain fitness software from companies such as Cognifit (go check the link) will be useful for Mental Health, Brain (psychological or neurological - both can be used).
Taking a child home only over only in circumstance of treatment is still kind of cruel.
Any one got any more info at the government policy? (not in govtrack - I wish to get something more official)
Laws make crime impossible
Good thing this MMH bill is there for people like Otty Sanchez. Or, rather, her 3-week old baby. Sure saved him from a life of pain & suffering at the hands of a mentally ill parent.

Scary stuff
Right after birth, a woman is incredibly susceptible to manipulation due to the effects of oxytocin on the brain.
Combine this with government agencies getting federal money for every adoption and how much easier it is to place newborns for adoption - scary stuff.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone out there learned how to get commissions on getting new mothers to say what ever will get the most federal money flowing.
Defend Liberty!
Wow! It will F up adoptions!
Yeah, Wow! I'm a birth mom and they do shove those papers at us to sign as soon as possible! They are supposed to wait ti,,, no drugs in system (but not even close) These girls are young too, teenagers are still in shock after a birth, why would they do this! Birth Moms need to be able to make a decision sober!!!

read the bill and learn from history
The bill calls this monitoring a national longitudinal study. You know what else was framed in similar terms?
Carbon taxes-section 116 of the bush bailout bill
Internet and phone tapping-the FIMA bill (okaying warrantless wiretapping)
Income Taxes-originally capped at 1% and we all know where that's gotten us.
Come on people are you really going to let the government question newborn mothers so they can drug them and take away their babies? Are we really going to debate on this bill when they're already so egregiously overstepping their bounds?
When are you all going to wake up and learn to recognize a pattern and interpret history?

parenting is under constant threat
this is social engeneeering at it's worse. Big pharma will reap the profits as the road to true full blown communism emerges. This legislation coupled with the UN's CRC (Council on the Rights of the Child) will be a population control on steroids. Really now, who in their right mind would want to have a "family" and subject themselves to this type of controls ?
The powers that be are the parents of your child so why bother having any?
Who can you trust ?
Who is going to test the tester, the tester ,the tester ,the tester..How far can we go ?

insanity is a great way to
insanity is a great way to take away someone's rights for good without due process. last i heard, being adjudicated insane doesn't require a jury trial.
and i'm not even going to touch western society's hysterical fears of even the slightest signs of mental illness.
yep.
another scam foisted on us by those who 'care'. this crap ain't medicine, it's quackery!

My aunt had some problems so
My aunt had some problems so she went to a drug rehab center in Oregon so that she wouldn't be able to see her kids while she feels sick. Is there a chance that she won't be able to see her kids when she comes back if she's still medicated? Besides the drug abuse, she also was taking anti-depressants before her admission.
there's always a chance
there's always a chance because it could be used against her if it winds up in a family court.
there's no depths to which the state won't sink when they're out to get someone, and anything that questions a person's sanity is a huge bull's eye.

This Neo Con has to go. She is siding with the liberal Democrats on everything. Ms. Snowe is a co-sponsor. She is showing her true colors. Time to rid the Republican Party of this socialist.

Snowe
Snowe is not a neo-con, she is a statist-globalist. She has bought the CFR one-worlder mentality hook, line and sinker. Google the "CFR membership list" and scroll down to the S's to see how it came about. You will see that the answer is "she joined them." Years ago. Says so right in their annual report from which these membership lists are drawn that she is a member of the CFR. Watch her vote on the "LOST" treaty.

That's why it's very important...
to birth your children at home with a midwife, (providing there are no troublesome findings on early ultrasounds). Also never, ever under any circumstances should you obtain social security numbers for your children.
don't sign the birth certificate and they have no jurisdiction
That is the only way I can see to get around that horrible bill. It ALL starts with the birth certificate. Don't sign it and YOU remain the ward of the child... NOT the state. Legally, they will ave NO jurisdiction. Not 100% sure about that... but it is worth a try.. There will be a percentage of mothers that WILL NOT leave the hospital with THEIR child because of those questions and the time they were answered. Factor this bill in with the SUICIDAL anti-depressent drugs they will talk MANY MANY mothers into taking before they give birth and that number WILL soar... This will send those children into the hands of SO CALLED foster homes that will grow to colonies of their own. This will decimate the family structure that has already been taken some serious blows over the years. Some or many of these children will then be subjected to rape, sodomy, experiments, mind control and so on. That can not be dismissed easily because of the obvious track record of the state and the corrupt child care agencies.
Now I ask you... NOT signing the birth certificate sounds a lot better now doesn't it?
Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?

Its not the birth
Its not the birth certificate which subjects the mother and the child to this perversion, its the third parent who you invited into your polygamous marriage with the state. You surrendered your control over the child before it was born. Additionally by claiming the privileged status of statutory U.S. citizen, you have agreed to subject yourself to all of the corporate rules, even those rules which are not written down. Look up whether or not governmental employees and officers are bound only by the regulations published in the federal register, or if they are subject to non-published regulations as well. I think you will be surprised. Investigate if a statutory U.S. citizen is a federal office, if a resident, person, or taxpayer are holders of government office (even if they are uncompensated). I think you will be surprised. Investigate who may apply for and receive a marriage license, is it for residents? Unless you understand the law and assert your sovereignty you are presumed to be a government employee subject to all of these depredations against your dignity and liberty. Because of our ignorance, many of us have fallen into the license and tax pitfall which the corporate entities masquerading as government have laid. To wake up visit:

Eugenics
Eugenics is "the study of, or belief in, the possibility of improving the qualities of the human species or a human population by such means as discouraging reproduction by persons having genetic defects or presumed to have inheritable undesirable traits (negative eugenics) or encouraging reproduction by persons presumed to have inheritable desirable traits (positive eugenics)."[2] As a social movement eugenics reached its height of popularity in the early decades of the 20th century. By the end of World War II eugenics had been largely abandoned,[3] though current trends in genetics have raised questions amongst critical academics concerning parallels between pre-war attitudes about eugenics and current "utilitarian" and social darwinistic theories[4]. At its pre-war zenith, the movement often pursued pseudoscientific notions of racial supremacy and purity.[5]

HR20-The Mother Act
I have read the bill. The problem is this-just how do they "research" such depressions? They would have to do a questionnaire and follow up, etc. Do you really think they will stop there? If the questionnaire reveals-in their opinion-an issue, what will they do? It is not a LEAP to figure they will not allow the baby to go home until such time as "they" decide-if ever-that Mom and/or Dad pass "their test or research". Very slippery slope stuff here.
Couple this with the UN Convention of the Child TREATY, folks-we cannot be too careful of this Mother's Act bill. Treatys (such as this UN one) supercede Fed, state and local gov't. No way around and the UN will tell you how to raise your kids. Can you add 2+2?

Here is the link
to the text that's quoted above:
http://inpursuitofhappiness.wordpress.com/2009/04/11/mothers...
This interpretation is at odds with the text of the actual bill.
You're right
The text of the bill says nothing about questionaires or prohibiting babies from going home with their mothers.
Careful, folks. This bill might be another boondoggle, but it is not the second coming of the Nazis.

Geez, I thought this was debunked weeks ago?
this is easily dealt with;

someone needs to tell washington that for only 5% of the world, they're not very competitive. it's like if apple decided to charge ten times as much (as opposed to twice as much) for their computers, preloaded them with vista and then demanded you return them every six months with no refund.
Have you read the bill?
It's in committee, not in the House. Also, there is no directions for mandated mental health screening in the hospital in the bill. Read the bill. Yes, it is a stupid bill and a waste of taxpayer's money (what else is new) but so far, it is not as threatening as all this.
Don't post something that isn't truly verified. We have so many things that really are right now. It's good to be aware of this frivolous bill that could lead to other things but it isn't relevant right now.
