An odd story. We don't know why the children were removed, exactly, but it seems likely that the fact of the home birth had nothing to do with it.
The intro to the story seems like nonsense, too: they claim the couple was using "homeopathic medicine," but no evidence of that is provided. Perhaps the anchors meant "naturopathic medicine," but those are two very different things.
(Homeopathy is the belief that if a substance can cause symptoms in a healthy person, it can cure those symptoms in a sick person. Further, that substance is, in homeopathic remedies, usually *not even actually used, because it is diluted from the remedy to the point where it no longer exists in the remedy. So when you see "homeopathy," think "a substance that causes sickness can cure it, as long as it isn't actually used." It's literal nonsense.) 
A Bellingham couple is fighting the for their children, claiming CPS seized them after a home birth and natural remedies.
"It is the common fate of the indolent to see their rights become a prey to the active. The condition upon which God hath given liberty to man is eternal vigilance; which condition if he break, servitude is at once the consequence of his crime and the punishment of his guilt."
