The biggest danger is to produce an unhealthy generation of shattered mothers and violent children in reaction to the invasive and tormenting experiences that new mothers go through right after giving birth, which is the most vulnerable phase in a woman's life. The other biggest danger is that a lot of mothers would choose to labor on their own or at home with a midwife rather than being at the mercy of the crazy system including the OBGYN and hospital staff and social workers..etc. This might potentially increase the number of infections and/or downsyndrom-type children.
People doing the mental health assessments are focused on and invested in finding pathology. No one takes responsibility for the iatrogenic injury and death directly related to the treatment (medications, ECT, etc.) Coercion and substitute judgment is routinely used instead of informed consent. Individual civil rights are compromised.
It appears to be a "blanket solution" that will do as much harm as good.
A future of zombies. A no society.
Another nail in the coffin of Human Rights. A government "of the people, for the people" should not be passing Bill's, laws or anything of the sort that does not benifit all of the people. The Mothers Act is nothing more than a targeted atack on the future of your nation. It is a spinless act of suppression against a population in need of nothing more than compassion, understanding and people (supposedly elected) who will stand for what is right and just. A yes vote to this Act is nothing short of blindness to all but a marketing campaign for yet more $$$$$$ to cripple an already buckling nation. Much easier to vote no now, than it will be to reverse after having voted yes. LOOK FOR YOURSELF and verify the evidence you are shown from another independant source not associated with the original information. You are the eyes and ears of so many, and they are counting on you to be vigillant, don't sell them out! Blind faith will get us all killed. A puppet is not free!
This act surely violates the rights of the mother and, potentially, violates the religious rights and freedoms of the mother, should mental health screening or drug use be against her religion.
The drugging of a pregnant woman. She should stay as toxin free as possible for the sake of her unborn child.
That pregnant women or new mothers will be forced to take these dangerous drugs or simply not be given any other options. They also may not be fairly informed of adverse side effects from medications.
It's invasion of a woman's right to choose what to do with her own body.
We don't know what these supposed drugs do. They could certainly affect a mother in the wrong way, and perhaps it could even affect the bonding of a mother and her child in a negative way.
The biggest danger is that any kind of testing in the area of mental health is very arbitrary and not at all scientific and thus could lead to false or wrong diagnosis. Giving out these very strong drugs to young women who do not need them in my opinion is criminal and it should not be done.
At least, not to drug expectant mothers, for these drugs are untested for fetus safety. Post-partum depression is very real, but so is the danger of these drugs. There should be special training given to psychiatrists concerning potential harm and possibly safer alternatives.

The Mother's Act is harming our unborn children! We must stop!
It is taking away a mother's right to choose what is right for her child and endangering the future generations.
Naturally the risks of harm to the unborn.
and my biggest wory if thes is past will i even get to bring my baby home. I have mentol problems and have a history of ppd. that is a scarry thing to thank we should go back to having are babies at home if that is true.you may not come home with your baby if you have your baby in the hospitl.
I heard that babies in the womb might even be given psych drugs!!!!! Women who are pregnant have a lot of hormonal shifts going on, and every single woman will have some major mood swings because of many issues, none of which have anything to do with chemical imbalances in the brain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody reads the side effects of psych drugs or at least nobody puts them out in public because if people read them they would never buy them! Who wants to take drugs that can make him go nuts! Ask yourselves how many have been "cured" and how many have just died from the effects which are thoughtfully hidden by the people that profit from You buying the drugs! We don't want crazy mothers around made that way from the drugs who become threat to themselves and the children they bear!
It more or less takes away a mothers right to decide whats best for her and her baby.
The side effects of these drugs are very clearly labeled on the packages themselves. Those listed side effects speak for themselves. Only the madman would give someone something that says take this and it might make you want to kill yourself or your schoolmates or your fellow soldiers!
That everyone soon will be a pshiatric drug user and more people will become violent and dangerous, due to the damaging effects of drugs!!
Mothers losing their children, mothers' health being ruined because of drugs and also becoming addicted to the drug.
The deaths of women and their babies is on your dirty corrupt hands.
