So recently we have been confronted with a new act about to be passed through our congressional parties, in which if passed will allow the government to force mothers to be and new mothers to take anti depressant medications throughout pregnancy as well as during to prevent "PPD". This new act will allow a doctor to make the call if you look or feel slightly depressed. Well, first off, lets look at the fact your a new mom or mom to be. Your anxious, excited, terrified, and exhausted. Not to mention your hormones are raging and your body is going through so many changes you do not know if you are coming or going. The government also want to give new parent a quiz. That's right, a quiz to see if your "fit" to be a parent. This would be all well and good if every person on Earth had the same views and opinions. If we were all produced from pods and mindlessly wondering Earth under one controlled brain. If we wondered around making statement like "Any trained body emerges above a wonder." As if anyone even knows what that means! LOL. I have many issues with this: for starters, our welfare system has no control. Woman can get assistance and have children on top of children. If you are unable and unwilling to take care of yourself enough to get a job and stand on your own two feet what could possibly make you think you have a right to raise a child under the system? Rather than drug every pregnant mom in America, lets start with this- your a young woman on welfare dependent on the system. Fine. You should have to get an IUD, which is a safe legal method of birth control. It lasts for 5 years and can be removed at any time you want to get off the system and take care of yourself. If you see a doctor outside of the provider who accepts your state insurance, and you pay cash to a non provider to have IUD removed, and you end up pregnant and living on system, we should have right to remove you from the system and flag you so that you can never depend on tax dollars to buy your food or heat your home or cloth your back. The harsh reality is that the people who do not know what it is like to have to earn your keep do not know what it is like to suffer. Just because your boyfriend who got you pregnant still comes over once a week for a walk in your "park" and then sits on your sofa eating your welfare funded snacks while watching the cable TV tax payers bought you and scratching his privates does not mean he is fit to watch your child while you run off to the mall with your friends. Odds are, and this is harsh but true, at some point you will come home to police on your door step. Your child is either dead, abused, or missing because you found it convenient to leave him/her with a low live form that is not a parent but what you call your "baby's dadda".
On a whole separate note, anti depressants are linked to high rates of premature births, low weight infants, birth defects, as well as infant death. We would not feed our babies anti depressants after birth so why force them on mothers who may not need them but just happen to have a "bad day". I find it grossly irritating that we are willing to pass a law inviting drugs into the community as a needed benefit. I find it more disturbing however that by forcing them on a mother you are now forcing an unborn child to take drugs as well. If that infant of anti depressant dies at birth which member of congress will raise a hand to take responsibility? I can not imagine that one person would willfully stand up and take responsibility for the death of a child that could have be prevented had more thought gone into this bill before actively agreeing to pass it into law. And even if one does come forth and admit to being part of the reason the child is now dead, does this make it OK? Is it socially accepted if its a law maker who killed an unborn child? The members on congress who are male, should they be able to give an honest opinion on the matter being that they have not going through the emotional traumas attributed to child bearing and motherhood? Are these the same members that preach anti abortion rights that now thing a drug that could potentially kill or cause brain damage to a child is OK? So many questions so little answers. I leave this now to your own minds to wonder the possibilities of what this new Mother Act could bring to the future of all family households. How many children will become property of the state, who will pay for they, what kind of kids will they grow up to be, who will find this new act, what are the drugs going to do or be in 15-20 years? I strongly advice all parents or parents to be to research this on their own, not to just read my words, but discover for yourselves where your opinion and vote will stand on the matter when the time comes and if you believe to be against this act please sign your local petition act against allowing this to pass congress.
