Except As A Punishment This is a slightly edited comment that I put in the chat of the webinar on the wrap up of social workers advocacy - although it was alluded to in the question and answer period, with other comments that were in the chat, and a hearty laugh could be heard, that there were more "statements than questions" it was overlooked and not addressed - as were other people's comments . . . .

HB 576/SB 453 - Maryland's Involuntary Outpatient Commitment legislation which sadly and disturbingly passed.

Involuntary Outpatient Commitment is psychiatric parole and part of the modern system of slavery.

All forms of slavery, including slavery as a form of punishment and labor as a form of treatment, ought to be abolished.

Psychiatry has no physical evidence of any psychiatric diagnosis assigned to individuals. There is plenty of physical evidence for the physical damages psychiatric practices, procedures, and products cause people.

The pain caused by court ordered psychiatry, includes iatrogenic effects, disabilities, known loss of life - and death.

Even a person who is voluntarily complying with informed consent with psychiatry experiences a loss of life for compliance with psychiatry. These losses are real and severe.

Forced compliance with psychiatry sentences one now, in Maryland like other States in the US, puts someone at risk to torture, slavery, and likely, manslaughter if not murder not only in State-operated institutions, but in the community as well.

The passage of this legislation in the House and Senate of Maryland is a loss for Human Rights beyond Maryland, which nationally, prior to passage of this legislature, as a State, Maryland was viewed as a protector and promoter of human rights with a forward-thinking public psychiatric system.

Share ACLU Rights Information.

I just sent this email to the Maryland House Health and Government Operations Committee. It is my understanding HB576 the Involuntary Outpatient Commitment legislation has been pushed through subcommittee and will be put before the full Health and Government Operations Committee, maybe today, or soon. If you live in Maryland - reach out to your Delegates this morning and let them know this bill may be coming before them. If Delegates are on the Committee, please urge them to consider the discussions, and that someone tried to add an amendment yesterday that was given less than a minute for a response. Here's what I sent:

Hi,
I am one of your constituents. I testified at the hearings on HB576 requesting an unfavorable report.
There are too many holes with this legislation.
The idea that it can be fixed after it is passed will cause great damage to those who are subject to faulty legislation.
If this bill comes before you for an action, please give it an UNFAVORABLE RESPONSE and say NO to HB576.

I am available to discuss any earlier points I tried to make.
Maryland has been hailed nationally as a defender of rights to freedom for too long to let a law that will cause damage to those under its grasp pass through.

This should never be the attitude of it is the best we can get, or that there have been three meetings about it already.

Think of the meetings you are mandating people to attend with this law, more time for discussion of its known deleterious consequences in states where similar legislation is active is too much time to take to be sure that there are not rights violations baked into the fabric of the legislation that will certainly violate the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the Convention Against Torture, not to mention Constitutional and Civil Rights, and moral right.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at (516) 319-4295.
Thank you for your time and attention.

Here is more evidence the economy is atrocious in America. DISCLAIMER: Price gouging and capitalism are part of the problem:

While discussing grocery prices on Fox ahd Friends this morning, hosts are telling people to eat beans to compensate for not being able to afford steak any longer.

Hosts talk about how to make mayonnaise from chic pea water and how to make multiple meals from a Costco Chicken — dark meat for dinner, fajitas, and chicken salad — and how to make soup from the chicken bones.

The new middle class is a six figure income (likely after taxes) and the new middle class is struggling . . .
