Hundreds of Lindsay Clancy supporters, many wearing pink clothing emblazoned with phrases such as “Believe,” “She Needed Help” and “Peace For Lindsay,” gathered Thursday outside the courthouse where she is on trial in the killings of her three children.
Several of the 300 women, and a few men, said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to raise awareness about how the mental health system treats women. Clancy’s lawyer does not dispute that she killed the children, but says she should not be held criminally responsible because she was mentally ill.
Check the article, the headline seems to misrepresent why they are there and what they want. All I’ve found is this:
Maybe they lack the words to describe it better. Maybe some of those women are nuts.
But when pro-life ends with childbirth and leaves mothers alone and healthcare is being gutted, women with rare problems like this 1-2 in 1000 post-partum psychosis are left without help. I do not think they want to see her go free, they want such tragedies to never happen with better healthcare.
Of course that is only possible by completely reforming the US political and economic system.
