A letter sent from Barack Obama says he is fully behind the Mother’s Act, which would require “mental health” screening of all pregnant women and new mothers.

Dennis Clarke: How Psychiatry is Making Drug Addicts out of America’s School Children
Dennis Clarke, whom I’ve respected for about the last 30 years, has been a very hard-hitting spokesman for Citizen’s Commission on Human Rights.
