The only mental illness I saw in the Clancy trial was in the 11-1 verdict to save her from a murder charge. That is, the 11 who bought the notion that strangling three kids to death can be attributed to mental illness. It took minutes for her to murder the kids, using exercise bands to kill them by cutting off their air supply. But a mistrial was declared when the jury failed to convict the child killer.
CNN notes the female jurors, who dominated the jury, acted irritated, even angry, over the failure of one man to go along with the feminist mob.
But this is Massachusetts, a state that elected a lesbian governor who just signed into law a bill to legalize abortion up to birth. Examine the photo of the signing ceremony and look at all of the white liberal women assembled around the table, some in white coats. They are smiling, even ecstatic.
In Massachusetts, the Catholic Church gets money from Healey and stays mostly silent about abortion – and infanticide.
We need to know more about the Clancy case, however. We have heard a lot about her various medications. But where was her church? What are her religious beliefs?
Lindsay Clancy was reportedly raised as a Catholic, and her local parish (Holy Family Parish in Duxbury, Massachusetts) is where her two younger children were baptized. A local Catholic paper, the Boston Pilot, says the parish community has served as a central place for local prayer services, vigils, and support surrounding the family.
Her Catholic affiliation is significant. It is also noteworthy that she was a Massachusetts General Hospital labor and delivery nurse, who must have been involved in many births.
Massachusetts General Hospital offers “comprehensive family planning and abortion care,” including abortion pills through 11 weeks and 6 days, and procedural/in-clinic abortions. Did Clancy participate in abortions? Did she develop an insensitivity to human life, knowing babies could be thrown into the trash at will?
How could a Catholic work at such a location?
The trial included evidence that Clancy arranged to be alone so she could carry out the murders. Evidence revealed that her phone was used to search “can you treat a sociopath?” on January 20, 2023—four days before she killed her three children.
Rather than being a glorious example of how the American justice system worked, the system broke down in a state where Clancy’s lawyer tried to put the medical system on trial, rather than the person – a mother – who killed the kids.
We will be told that, if only she had universal child care, the children could have been saved.
I expected her lawyer to go further and blame patriarchy and capitalism. That will be left up to the socialists. This is their new cause. They blame the “system,” in terms of health care, rather than blame her.
Then, her lawyer attacked the one holdout, a brave man who saw through the smoke and mirrors and realized that the deliberate strangulation murders were intentional.
That defense lawyer made that brave soul into a target.
It’s the system, he said, placing the blame on the alleged failure of medical professionals who tried to save Clancy from her self-proclaimed depression after giving birth.
The victims were 5-year-old Cora, 3-year-old Dawson, and 8-month-old Callan.
The “system,” if it’s to blame, consists of giving women the “right’ to kill their children, through birth and beyond. The outcome was a view into the world of feminism, a cancer in America that has morphed into demands against “patriarchy” and giving women the absolute right to kill children.
Massachusetts is truly a sick state, but it is not the only one.
In his attack on the holdout, her lawyer said the lone male juror was accused of “reasoning [which] reflects a bias against those who suffer from debilitating mental illness.”
There is no evidence of that.
Yet, Clancy and her ex-husband, Patrick Clancy, have filed separate medical malpractice suits against some of her health care providers.
I ask, again, where was her priest?
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague said, “This case is not about our mental health system or how it treats women. That’s a distraction to get you angry and passionate about an important issue, but an issue that’s not on trial here.”
The issue is a Catholic woman who may have been let down by her family, friends, and church.
The feminist response is “It takes a village,” the title of a book by Hillary Clinton.
Hence, Clancy and her lawyers and feminist followers want to put the current system on trial, so it can be replaced. And the “system,” in their view, is the American health care system. To take another example of this trend, the socialists are demanding “Medicare for All,” as if that is the solution to everybody’s health care problems.
Speaking as someone on Medicare, you have to have a private supplemental plan to pay for expenses, and even that won’t spare you additional costs.
So you see what is developing here in the Clancy case is a planned propaganda campaign to make sure the government at all levels takes care of all of us.
The reason you have been subjected to non-stop coverage of the case is because the feminists have demanded it.
The Clancy case is only the latest example of this trend, the assassination of the UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson being the first. That, too, generated protests from those opposed to private health care.
If you kill, it’s the fault of the system! And the “solution” they propose is government-controlled health care.
The difference is Mangione pleaded guilty to the murder. Clancy wanted to get off, and her lawyer realized he could use the power of the feminist movement and the media on her behalf. Her lawyer spoke with gratitude about those on TikTok who took her side.
One man stood in the way.
I don’t think this juror dismissed the reality of postpartum psychosis. I think he wasn’t convinced that the diagnosis justified the murder of three children in a deliberate manner that took minutes to accomplish.
Frankly, I think it’s a possibility that she was possessed, as in the devil. She claimed to be hearing voices.
AI tells me this is bunk. “Postpartum psychosis is a severe medical condition, not a sign of spiritual possession or the devil. It is a rare psychiatric emergency that typically manifests within the first two weeks following childbirth,” I was informed.
But if postpartum psychosis is a rare psychiatric emergency that typically manifests within the first two weeks following childbirth, why did Lindsay Clancy wait 8 months to kill her third child? And why did she kill the other two?
I am informed that medical literature and public health data emphasize that filicide (the killing of a child by a parent) linked to postpartum psychosis is “exceptionally rare.”Killing three kids has to be rarer still.
Still, groups of “women and mothers” gathered outside the courthouse and rallied for her. I dare say they were from organized feminist groups.
This is their new cause. A child killer is their heroine.
