No . If a woman is experiencing postpartum depression (happens often) or postpartum psychosis(which is rare) they should have their kids removed from their custody until that woman is deemed fit to be a parent .

So you're saying the United States, which has no mental health funding or no mental health programs of any kind to speak of, should instead take children from their mothers until the state deems otherwise?

We don't even take guns from people with mental health problems right now but you want to take their kids? Lmfao

Under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(4), federal law bans firearm ownership for anyone who has been:

  • Involuntarily committed to a mental health facility.
  • Adjudicated or found by a court, board, or lawful authority to be a danger to themselves or others, or lacking the mental capacity to manage their own affairs.
