Pennsylvania Mother Loses Baby Over Poppy Seed Bagel
Elizabeth Mort had her newborn baby seized by Pennsylvania Child Protective Services after testing positive for opiates. The positive result was later attributed to a poppy seed bagel she had eaten prior to giving birth. The baby was returned after five days, but the hosts highlight the incident as an example of overreaching state intervention and flawed hospital testing policies.
