The comment above is typical of the misinformation being circulated by a fringe group in opposition to the bill. The bill was not drafted by pharmaceutical companies (please substantiate this completely false statement) but by a coaltion of advocates who want to end the suffering of new mothers - up to 800,000 in the next year alone! Its primary sponsor is among our nation's most family involved legislators, U.S. Senator Robert Menendez. Those who wish to read the bill, may do so by visiting www.perinatalpro.com/ppdlegislation.html The bill neither subsidizes or encourages medication, nor does it mandate screening. Please take the time to actually read the bill before discouraging mothers from supporting its critical initiatives or spreading falsehoods regarding its origin, initiatives and intentions. Thank you!
