Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thank you Ingrid. Alice, it is dire in practice if not in unambiguous verbiage. Ingrid shows how the " recommendation " will become, in practice, coercion. Just like the fed's CDC's vaccine " recommendations " become state level vaccine forced mandates. That's why Dr. Laibow and I want to see a simple addition to the pending bill, a sentence that would make it clear: " Nothing contained in this Act or any United States statute shall be construed to intimidate, require or coerce any pre or post partum woman to receive any psychiatric drug without her fully informed, voluntary written consent. " When Congress decided to reward the FDA for its failures last year by giving it more power to abuse (Sen. Kennedy's misnamed FDA Revitalization Act, that I call the FDA enabling act] we called upon the Natural Solutions Foundation's Mouse Warriors and over a hundred thousand messages went to Congress demanding protection. We visited key members of Congress' offices supported the DSHEA protective language that got added to the bill, but not the bill itself. That's what we'd like to do with the Mother's Act. There will be an Action Item about this in the next NSF eblast and I'll be in DC to educate Congress about this on March 24th. Time is short, but we hope to generate enough messages to get action from Congress. That's why we have to get as many people to sign up to the eAlert newsletter system as possible, at www.healthfreedomusa.org - scroll to the bottom of the page.
