Here's a clue: this is an opinion forum and you obviously have none. If we want to read crap, we can go to WND ourselves.
Have you ever noticed that she drops these smelly little piles on here and never sticks around to suffer the stench.
From the WND pile ... "It's named the "Melanie Blocker Stokes Mother's Act" after a pharmaceutical sales manager who killed herself by jumping out of a window after receiving four cocktails of antidepressants, anti-anxiety and antipsychotic drugs and electroshock therapy following the birth of her child."
A different viewpoint from the NIH..."On February 23, 2001, Melanie Blocker-Stokes, a Chicago, IL, native and successful pharmaceutical sales manager, wife, and mother, gave birth to a daughter. After the birth of her daughter, Mrs. Blocker-Stokes developed a devastating mood disorder known as postpartum psychosis. She was admitted to Chicago-area hospitals three times, each time for 7 to 10 days. Despite medical assistance and the support of her family and friends, Mrs. Blocker-Stokes lost her battle with postpartum psychosis and jumped from a 12-story window ledge to her death on June 11, 2001."

This is nothing new. I remember my wife and I being counseled about this before the birth of our first more than 30 years ago.
Knowing what is causing the depression and knowing that there is help is comforting to a new mother.
Oh...btw... in case anyone is interested, here is a link to the bill....

Oh, man. Don't tell me that. I like tofu! And my elbows are still out when I walk. :biggrin:
Especially if you skip around in a pink ballet tutu while you eat it. The only known antidote is T-bone steak, rare.

You guys are killin' me. I swear I'm not gay. But I'm not homophobic either.

And back to the topic...kinda. When I was pregnant with itty bitty, I was well aware of the postpartum depression, and actually made an appointment for evaluation to determine if I might succumb. I had already had 8 kids and don't believe I ever suffered from it, but I had become well aware of it because of all the incidents in recent years attributed to it. Glad to say, I didn't suffer from it the 9th time either.
I think there is a greater awareness of it and it's being addressed early enough just as a matter of course. I didn't read the article or about the bill. Just for the record.
And all you men just aren't right. LOL

Will this one do?
No, that is not my bench. It doesn't look anything like that. AND there is only room for two people, no matter what size they are.
