菲利斯·施拉夫利1999年的“大姐头”警告在马萨诸塞州新生儿家庭探访辩论中再度浮现
鹰论坛主席安妮·施拉夫利就母亲菲利斯·施拉夫利1999年发出的有关政府为新妈妈提供家庭探访的警告作出回应，此时马萨诸塞州正推动将其产后护士项目扩大至全州范围。

在马萨诸塞州提议大幅扩编一项由纳税人出资、向有新生儿的家庭派遣护士上门的计划的27年前，传奇保守派激进人士、草根女性领袖菲利斯·施拉夫利曾提出一个问题，她的女儿表示，如今这个问题听起来异常贴切。
“美国民众是否愿意让政府人员进入家中，‘建议’他们如何照料婴儿？”施拉夫利在1999年3月一篇题为《提防“大姐头”与“老大哥”》的专栏文章中写道。
这一警告再度引发热议之际，马萨诸塞州州长莫拉·希利正申请200万美元资金，用以扩大该州的“欢迎家庭”计划——该计划在产妇分娩后提供护士上门服务。目前该项目每年服务约3000名新生儿，扩编后预计每年可覆盖全州约6.8万名新生儿家庭。

这一推动举措是在林赛·克兰西案之后出台的，该案将产后精神疾病问题置于聚光灯下。克兰西对自己2023年在达克斯伯里家中杀害三名年幼子女——5岁的科拉、3岁的道森和8个月大的卡兰——的事实供认不讳。
克兰西的辩护律师称她当时患有产后精神病，无需承担刑事责任，而检方则认为她清楚自己的行为是错误的。陪审团未能达成一致裁决，导致庭审无效。
对于安妮·施拉夫利——鹰论坛主席、菲利斯·施拉夫利的女儿——而言，母亲的警告如今有了新的现实意义。
“我母亲在预见政府可能入侵家庭生活方面极具先见之明，”施拉夫利在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。
“她的核心观点是，政府人员或任何政府代理人无权进入你的家、你的城堡，四处窥探，并评判你是否按照政府的要求抚养孩子，”她说，“毕竟，家就是我们的城堡。”

菲利斯·施拉夫利1999年的专栏文章聚焦“美国健康家庭计划”及类似的家庭探访项目，警告称这类项目会筛查家庭风险因素、为父母联系健康与社会服务，并在家庭内部提供育儿指导。
她还质疑那些官方标榜为“自愿”的项目，在实际操作中是否真的能始终保持自愿性质。
如今马萨诸塞州称“欢迎家庭”计划是自愿的。护士会对“父母及看护人”和新生儿的健康状况进行评估，解答新生儿护理相关问题，筛查产后心理健康问题，并为家庭联系更多服务资源。

值得注意的是，马萨诸塞州将“确保您的家庭安全”列为“欢迎家庭”护士可向父母提供建议的议题之一，但该项目的家庭信息页面并未明确具体的家庭安全标准。
该州将“欢迎家庭”称为新生儿家庭“进入护理体系的切入点”。施拉夫利1999年专栏文章中提及的“美国健康家庭计划”，也是马萨诸塞州在其更广泛的家庭探访倡议中列出的示范项目之一，不过该计划与“欢迎家庭”相互独立。
希利在波士顿公共电台的一次采访中，从更广泛的角度阐述了她对扩编计划的愿景。
“本州每一位新生儿父母，都将在产后数天至数周内获得一次家庭探访，这将是医疗服务人员评估您是否需要额外支持和资源的机会，”希利说。

安妮·施拉夫利对“真正自愿”的定义提出了质疑。
“如果没有真正的知情同意，这能算是自愿吗？”施拉夫利说，“刚生完孩子的女性刚经历分娩，可能还处于镇静状态，她们真的能清楚认识到自己所谓‘自愿’签署的协议内容吗？
“我认为母亲们有权完全知晓，上门的会是政府人员。”
拟议中的扩编规模也令施拉夫利感到担忧。
“如果政府要扩大其管控范围，雇佣更多人员，动用纳税人的钱派遣大量人员前往各个家庭，我的意思是，这是相当大的扩张，”她说，“这种上门探查、查看家庭内部情况的做法，同时带有‘大姐头’和‘老大哥’的意味。”
马萨诸塞州并未将探访描述为检查，而是称其为自愿的健康与支持服务。
州官员指出了现有项目的成果。2025年，“欢迎家庭”项目共开展了1620次产后抑郁症筛查，其中208次结果呈阳性。该州表示，每一位筛查结果呈阳性的人员都获得了服务转介。
施拉夫利表示，她并不反对家庭选择接受此类帮助。
“如果人们希望获得希利州长提供的这类帮助，他们完全可以利用，”她说。
她的底线是，父母是否仍有权拒绝服务。
“我认为任何时候只要将其定为强制要求，就已经越过了界限，”施拉夫利说，“我认为马萨诸塞州的这个项目唯一能被接受的前提，就是父母可以随时选择退出。”
马萨诸塞州发布的材料中明确说明参与是自愿的。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系希利的办公室，请求其就父母是否有权拒绝探访、探访期间收集的信息以及这些信息是否会与其他州机构共享等问题置评并作出说明。
在母亲发出“大姐头”闯入家庭的警告近30年后，施拉夫利表示，她清楚母亲如今会如何建议马萨诸塞州的父母。
“毫无疑问，菲利斯·施拉夫利会建议父母拒绝那些想要窥探家庭的多管闲事者，”她说，“家庭是神圣且私密的空间，希利州长无权进入马萨诸塞州父母的家中。

‘Big Sister’ warning resurfaces as Massachusetts expands home visits after Clancy trial
Eagle Forum’s Anne Schlafly says the expansion of the Welcome Family program crosses a line into family privacy

Phyllis Schlafly’s 1999 ‘Big Sister’ warning resurfaces amid Massachusetts newborn home visit debate
Eagle Forum Chairman Anne Schlafly reacts to her mother Phyllis Schlafly’s 1999 warning about government-backed home visits for new mothers as Massachusetts moves to expand its postpartum nurse program statewide.

Twenty-seven years before Massachusetts proposed to dramatically expand a taxpayer-funded program sending nurses into the homes of families with newborns, legendary conservative firebrand and grassroots women’s leader Phyllis Schlafly posed a question that her daughter says now sounds remarkably familiar.
“Are the American people willing to allow government agents to come into their homes to ‘advise’ them how to care for their babies?” Schlafly wrote in a March 1999 column titled, “Watch out for ‘Big Sister’ as Well as ‘Big Brother.’”
The warning resurfaced as Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey seeks $2 million to expand the state’s Welcome Family program, which offers nurse visits following childbirth. The program serves approximately 3,000 births annually, and the expansion is intended to make visits available following roughly 68,000 births statewide per year.

The push comes in the aftermath of the Lindsay Clancy case, which put a searing spotlight on maternal mental illness. Clancy does not dispute that she killed her three young children — Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months — inside their Duxbury home in 2023.
Clancy’s defense argued she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible, while prosecutors argued she knew her actions were wrong. The jury deadlocked, resulting in a mistrial.
For Anne Schlafly, chairman of Eagle Forum and Phyllis Schlafly’s daughter, her mother’s warning has now taken on new resonance.
“My mother was very prescient about the things that could happen if we let government intrude into our family lives,” Schlafly told Fox News Digital.

“Her point was a government agent or an agent of the government has no business in your home, in your castle, snooping around and determining whether or not you’re raising the children the way the government wants you to raise the children,” she said. “After all, the home is our castle.”
Phyllis Schlafly’s 1999 column focused on Healthy Families America and similar home-visiting initiatives, warning about programs that screened families for risk factors, connected parents with health and social services and offered parenting guidance inside the home.
She also questioned whether programs officially described as “voluntary” would always operate that way in practice.
Massachusetts today describes Welcome Family as voluntary. Nurses assess the health of the “parents and caregivers” and newborn, answer questions about newborn care, screen for postpartum mental health concerns and connect families with additional services.

Notably, Massachusetts lists “ensuring that your home is safe” among the subjects Welcome Family nurses may advise parents about, though the program’s family information page does not specify particular home safety criteria.
The state has called Welcome Family an “entry point into the system of care” for families with newborns. Healthy Families America, the program at the center of Schlafly’s 1999 column, is also among the models Massachusetts lists within its broader Home Visiting Initiative, though it is separate from Welcome Family.
Healey described her vision for the expansion in broader terms during an interview on Boston Public Radio.
“Everybody in the state, when you have a baby, you’re going to have a home visit within days, weeks, and that will be an opportunity for a healthcare provider to make an assessment to see if you need some additional support and resources,” Healey said.

Anne Schlafly questioned what meaningful consent looks like shortly after childbirth.
“Is it really voluntary if you don’t have true informed consent?” Schlafly said. “If you have just given birth, you’ve been in labor, you’ve been under sedation, can you really recognize what you were signing up for supposedly on a voluntary basis?
“I think mothers need to have the full disclosure that this would be a government agent in the home.”
The scale of the proposed expansion also concerns Schlafly.
“If government is going to expand their reach and hire a whole bunch of more people and use taxpayer money to send out all these agents to the families, I mean, that’s quite an expansion,” she said. “This idea of coming in to inspect and see what’s going on in your home smacks of Big Sister and Big Brother both.”
Massachusetts does not characterize the visits as inspections but as voluntary health and support services.
State officials point to results from the existing program. In 2025, Welcome Family offered 1,620 postpartum depression screenings, with 208 positive screenings. The state says every person who screened positively received a referral for services.
Schlafly said she does not object to families choosing to accept that help.
“If people want to have this help from Governor Healey, then they can avail themselves of it,” she said.
Her dividing line, she said, is whether parents retain the ability to refuse.
“I think any time you make it compulsory, the line has been crossed,” Schlafly said. “I would say the only way that this Massachusetts program could be acceptable is if the parents could opt out at any time.”
Massachusetts’ published materials describe participation as voluntary.
Fox News Digital reached out to Healey’s office for comment and clarification about parents’ ability to decline visits, information collected during visits and whether information may be shared with other state agencies.
Nearly three decades after her mother warned about “Big Sister” entering the family home, Schlafly said she believes she knows what her mother would tell Massachusetts parents today.
“There’s no doubt that Phyllis Schlafly would advise parents to reject busybodies who want to inspect their home,” she said. “The home is a sacred and private area, and Governor Healey has no business in the homes of Massachusetts parents.
