darkening horizons
Oh here's another goodie - the New Freedom Initiative/Mandatory Mental Health Screening of American Children which passed the senate without an amendment to require parental consent. Which means that now 60 million schoolchildren (including preschoolers) and pregnant women and adults are to be submitted to mandatory mental health screening at school (or at home if homeschooled), undoubtedly the first step toward mass medicating of the populace.

You know what?? If somebody wants to medicate my baby, they're gonna have to do it over my dead body.
I swear I do not want to be one of those people who just gives up and moves away, because I already did that four years ago, the FIRST time W was elected. Now I want to stay here and fight the power. But it gets a little scarier every day. Every day the little voice in my head gets a bit louder to begin thinking about how far I am willing to go to stand up for what I believe in. With a baby my first inclination is to stick my head in the sand which seems like the safest thing to do in terms of keeping her safe (and me out of jail and still able to care for her). I am conflicted about it. At this time, it's just in my mind, a bridge i am quite a ways from crossing just yet. It's a little voice. But it's not going away.
