Right Splits Over Lindsay Clancy Trial and Postpartum Mental Health

rollingstone.com

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, who admits to murdering her three children in 2023, has sparked a political divide on the right over postpartum mental health, with prominent conservative men dismissing the condition while women push back. Clancy strangled her children aged five, three, and eight months during severe postpartum psychosis, then attempted suicide, leaving her paralyzed. Her lawyers argue she should be committed to a psychiatric facility rather than face life in prison for first-degree murder. Daily Wire's Matt Walsh called postpartum depression a mask for selfishness, prompting conservative women like Meghan McCain and Tomi Lahren to correct him. Even Daily Wire co-founders Ben Shapiro and Jeremy Boreing acknowledged the condition's reality, though Boreing still supports the death penalty.
