Her defense claims she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was overmedicated, which they argue diminished her moral duty. Despite her clear acknowledgment of the murders, there has been meaningful social media support for Clancy, with many defending her and raising nearly a million dollars for her cause, viewing her as a victim rather than a perpetrator. The article criticizes this sympathetic attitude, emphasizing that mental health struggles do not excuse murder and warning against normalizing such behavior.<\/p>\n<p>The author argues that society must hold individuals accountable for their actions, irrespective of mental illness, to maintain order and justice.she advocates for strict consequences,including execution for those fully aware of their evil deeds,asserting that failing to do so risks societal breakdown. The piece also criticizes systemic failures in the justice system, such as leniency toward violent criminals and a reluctance to execute offenders, which the author attributes to ideological biases and legal reforms. the article stresses personal responsibility, societal order, and the dangers of excusing or enabling heinous acts through misguided sympathy or legal leniency.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><em>This article discusses gruesome facts about a triple murder.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The attorney for \u201cMassachusetts mom\u201d Lindsay Clancy admits she strangled her three young children to death with exercise bands, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/boston\/live-updates\/lindsay-clancy-trial-live-updates-patrick-clancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to CBS News<\/a>.

Yet he argues she shouldn\u2019t be held responsible because she suffered postpartum anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, according to court testimony. <\/p>\n<p>One stupid response to this from people who either have no experience with women, let alone pregnancy, or are mentally broken in some way is to claim some variant of \u201cpostpartum depression is fake.\u201d It\u2019s true that, as social rewards for playing the victim have risen in our Marxist culture, people have increasingly sought to label themselves whatever victim status they can claim, including adopting mental disorders.<\/p>\n<p>Despite such victim status inflation, however, it remains true that motherhood is a massive emotional and physical endeavor, from the second the pregnancy test reveals that blue line to the moment a mother dies. It\u2019s the mothers with the least support and worst sleep (which are correlated) who are most likely to feel blue. This is real, as every mother can tell you. <\/p>\n<p>Further, the defense and prosecutors in Clancy\u2019s case have agreed and admitted evidence that Clancy had tried multiple kinds of mood medications, some of which have side effects that can include worsened depression and suicidal thoughts. It\u2019s clear Clancy was mentally unwell.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>The existence of mood disorders such as anxiety or postpartum depression, however, is zero excuse for murder. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/12288594\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Billions <\/a>of women have given birth in human history, many if not most have struggled mentally and physically afterward, and almost none have ever murdered their children as a result. If having a baby pardons murder, be back in a bit, I\u2019ve got some enemies to off with my \u201cI had a baby so I get out of jail free\u201d card.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of millions of people in human history have endured famines, war, loss of family, and other devastating tragedies without strangling their own kids over it. If we start excusing people for choosing to do wrong in response to wrongs done to them, say goodbye to your society right now, because we all have grievances. Some of us choose to respond prudently, and some wickedly. The prudent should be rewarded, and the wicked punished. This is very simple, and that it\u2019s even a public debate is terrifying.<\/p>\n<p>Humans must be held responsible for our choices, even when made under pain or duress, or we will only make everything much worse for everyone. Self-restraint and appropriate responses to discomfort are the mark of every functioning society. When that breaks down, we live in anarchy. In anarchy, everyone suffers more than in societies where we repress our evil feelings for the greater good. Yes, I said \u201crepress.\u201d Some forms of repression are not only healthy but required for social order, which protects us all.<\/p>\n<p>Further, even if Clancy were fully psychotic (or demon-possessed?) such that she could not understand the moral implications of her actions in any way, she needs to be executed. There are plenty of mentally ill people in our society, and very few commit murder. Those who do should be summarily executed precisely because of the danger they pose to innocents such as the Clancy children. If you can\u2019t understand that it\u2019s evil to kill children, you are a mortal danger to the innocent and therefore not fit to live in a just society.<\/p>\n<p>Far more frightening than a woman doing something horribly evil due to a potential psychotic break are public attempts to legitimize and excuse this behavior. I\u2019m not just talking about the toxic femininity Cluster B klatch excusing Clancy on Instagram and TikTok. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m talking about the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court and many below it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotusblog.com\/2026\/06\/the-state-of-the-death-penalty-at-the-supreme-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">for decades have made it<\/a> nigh on impossible to execute murderers and child abusers. I\u2019m talking about the fact that judges like Teresa Stokes repeatedly give <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/news\/local\/crime\/article312065093.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">light or no sentences to chronically violent criminals<\/a>, who often go on to commit murders like Iryna Zarutska\u2019s stabbing in North Carolina last year. I\u2019m talking about the law schools, nearly all of which teach future judges, lawyers, and prosecutors to go easy on all criminals because higher proportions are black and brown.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >social media \u201ctrue crime\u201d wackos<\/a> have nothing on the chronic and systemic denial of justice to Americans at the behest of Marxist ideology. It is perpetuated by Republicans and Democrats alike against we the little people, who can no longer afford to price ourselves out of the disorder-ridden neighborhoods our lawmakers won\u2019t deign to police with the taxes we pay.<\/p>\n<p>We can go to jail for not paying our taxes, but many criminals pay hardly anything for threatening our children with trespassing, vagrancy, theft, panhandling, and even escalations to higher forms of violence. Murderers, the worst of the worst, get a tax-provided bed, workout station, and meals for the rest of their lives when what they really deserve is swift death. This is gross injustice, as it privileges the evil above the good.<\/p>\n<p>Like the toxic TikTok housewives, lawmakers of both parties are comfortable expressing empathy for criminals and uncomfortable fulfilling what the Founding Fathers believed was a just government\u2019s chief duty: ensuring that law-abiding citizens are protected from predators like vagrants, thieves, murderers, rapists, and gangs. The real problem is when the morals of the ruling class are exactly the same as the psycho-defending social Marxism of wine mom Instagram.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Joy Pullmann is executive editor of The Federalist and the researcher and host for The Federalist&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/gop-voters-dont-want-mike-pences-republican-party\/\" title=\"GOP Voters Don\u2019t Want Mike Pence\u2019s Republican Party\">forthcoming lawfare podcast series<\/a>, &#8220;Overruled.&#8221; Her latest book with Regnery is &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/p\/books\/false-colors-the-flag-of-our-occupation-joy-pullmann\/20707173?ean=9781684515875\">False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America<\/a>.&#8221;  A happy wife and the mother of six children, her ebooks include the NEW &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/payhip.com\/b\/ZT5Wd\" target=\"_blank\">300 Classic Books for Ages 9 to Adult<\/a>,&#8221; and the bestselling &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/payhip.com\/b\/R1JL\">Classic Books For Young Children<\/a>.&#8221;      An 20-year education and politics reporter, Joy has testified before nearly two dozen legislatures on education policy and appeared on major media including Tucker Carlson, CNN, Fox News, OANN, NewsMax, Ben Shapiro, and Dennis Prager.
