92: Swine Flu: It's a Beta!
Postpartum Depression, Government Child Custody
The Washington Post reported on a mother in Prince George's County who faced a government investigation after expressing disappointment over her newborn's gender while medicated post-cesarean. The hosts argue this incident reflects a trend of state interference in parental rights and the medicalization of motherhood. They suggest such stories serve to condition the public to accept mandatory psychiatric screenings for parents.
