When colonists on a new world give birth, their babies are taken away from them by the government. This is to assure the children are raised properly. Originally it was intended for a short time but the time period kept getting extended. The mothers on the colony get fed up with not being able to see their children and form a mob to storm the government building. It is then revealed that the babies are born mutants due to the environment of the world. Despite their physical deformities, the mothers reclaim their children and love them anyway.
