How about this in response?

How many pregnant women are in their late 20s, early 30s and are having babies?

How many had upwards of 36 vaccine doses, 15 vaccines WITH Thimerosal (mercury) and were put on ritalin, adderall and subsequently taking the anti-depressants/anti-psychotic SSRIs, like Zoloft, Lexpro, Concerta, Paxil, Prozac?

Assault on pregnant mothers (deformed babies)...Eileen Dannemann

You can't just take these women off of the meds they have been taking for years...and this is the "new" problem! See the Mayo clinic recommendation below:

The MOTHERS ACT, passed by the House (111-48 and in the Obama Healthcare bill, The Mothers Act will ensure that new moms and their families are educated about postpartum depression, screened for symptoms, and provided with essential services. In addition, it will increase research into the causes, diagnoses and treatments for postpartum depression. Thus, this legislation includes two grants to help health care providers educate, identify and treat PPD. This legislation incorporates a House bill, the Melanie Stokes Postpartum Depression Research and Care Act, which would expand and intensify research at the NIH with respect to PPD and psychosis, including increased discovery of treatments, diagnostic tools and educational materials for providers. In essence, the Mothers Act is the legislation that will legitimize research and testing of psyche drugs on pregnant women. TV news reports (May, 2009) are beginning to report the condition of pregnant women to be known as "Perinatal Anxiety" which is generally accompanied by "postpartem depression".

Mayo Clinic: Are antidepressants an option during pregnancy?

Few medications have been proved safe without question during pregnancy. Research continues, however, and the latest studies on antidepressants and pregnancy offer some reassurance. Overall, the risk of birth defects and other problems for babies of mothers who take antidepressants during pregnancy is very low. Still, some types of antidepressants are safer than others.

Here's an overview, arranged alphabetically by specific type of antidepressant:

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

Citalopram (Celexa) Associated with a rare but serious newborn lung problem (persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, or PPHN) when taken during the last half of pregnancy Consider as an option during pregnancy

Fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem) Associated with PPHN when taken during the last half of pregnancy Consider as an option during pregnancy

Paroxetine (Paxil) Associated with fetal heart defects when taken during the first three months of pregnancy Avoid during pregnancy

Sertraline (Zoloft) Associated with PPHN when taken during the last half of pregnancy Consider as an option during pregnancy

Tricyclic antidpressants

Amitriptyline Suggested risk of limb malformation in early studies, but not confirmed with newer studies Consider as an option during pregnancy

Nortriptyline (Pamelor) Suggested risk of limb malformation in early studies, but not confirmed with newer studies Consider as an option during pregnancy

Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)

Phenelzine (Nardil) May cause a severe increase in blood pressure that triggers a stroke Avoid during pregnancy

Tranylcypromine (Parnate) May cause a severe increase in blood pressure that triggers a stroke Avoid during pregnancy

Other antidepressants

Bupropion (Wellbutrin) No established risks during pregnancy Consider as an option during pregnancy

Note: Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn is a rare condition.

Might this be renamed "The Mothers Ax" Senate Bill S. 324.
