Something Beautiful
Someone randomly sent me something really beautiful. I'd never heard of this before but this man's work is absolutely amazing. He carves "lovespoons," which are wooden sculpted spoons which men give (or gave) to women as presents in Wales.

More on the "Mother's Act", from DFW Catholic:
"The MOTHERS Act - Trolling for Mental Patients in a Maternity Ward Near You - January 28, 2009
"WASHINGTON, DC (MetroCatholic) - Certain Congressmen who normally spend time pushing legislation are on a mission to “save” birthing mothers of America from “mental illness.” The Melanie Blocker Stokes MOTHERS Act exploits a mother who was “treated” with almost everything the mental health industry can offer, from drug cocktails to electroshock. These “treatments” worked so well for Melanie that she jumped from a 12th story Chicago hotel room window."

Say NO to New Jersey's "The Mother's Act"
Representative Bobby Rush of Illinois and Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey have re-introduced the euphamistically titled, "Mother's Act," in the House of Represenatives and the Senate. U.S. House of Representatives (H.R. 20 introduced Jan 6th 2009) and the U.S. Senate (S. 324 introduced Jan 26 2009).
The "Mother's Act," is a piece of legislation mandating and providing for mental health "care" for pregnant women, with the laudable goal of preventing "post-partum depression."
Unfortunately, the "care" that is provided for this is very dangerous drugs which cause birth defects, thought of suicide and suicide.
The horrible irony of this grotesque legislation is that it is introduced in honor of Melanie Blocker Stokes: a new mother whose family felt she had emotional problems after giving birth and put her under the "care" of a psychiatrist. Melanie was institutionalized, and given "a cocktail of intensely controversial psychiatric drugs including anti-psychotic, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant drugs" and shock treatment, after which she jumped out a twelfth-story window.
This isn't the first time the mental health lobby has tried to push this through. Every other time, thankfully, they've failed. For all our sakes and our future, they can't succeed now. The real purpose of this bill is to create a new market for pyschopharmaceuticals, no matter what the cost is to the rest of us. Please watch the video below and tell your Senators and your Representative in Washington that you DON'T want this. Please share it with other people and get the word out:
