A bill that would subject pregnant women to mental health screenings –
and possibly medications that would follow any diagnosis of
"depression" – has returned and already is more than halfway through
Congress, a concerned family group is warning.
WND reported a year ago when the plan was proposed to allow the
government to order tests on mothers for baby blues. The proposal later
died.
However, officials with United
Nonprofits and Individuals for Truth
and Ethics
say the bill is back, and it already has been approved by the U.S.
House and assigned to a Senate committee under the designation S.324.
It's named the "Melanie Blocker Stokes Mother's Act"
after a pharmaceutical sales manager who killed herself by jumping out
of a window after receiving four cocktails of antidepressants,
anti-anxiety and antipsychotic drugs and electroshock therapy following
the birth of her child. FULL STORY
