Lindsay Clancy's Paradox
<p>"But where should compassion end and legal accountability begin?"</p><p><br/></p><p>Why should our compassion end at legal responsibility ?</p><p><br/></p><p>Isn't it precisely the act of murder done to Cora, Dawson and Callan Clancy that leads us into this legal responsibility? </p><p><br/></p><p>I do not condone the act of murder that was done in this case but it raises questions I see getting repressed for the sake of justice </p><p><br/></p><p>Why did such an act or in this context the thought of fillicide happen in the first place that lead to Lindsay Clancy's children deaths</p><p><br/></p><p>Which leads to the second question based from the prompt itself </p><p><br/></p><p>"Should severe postpartum psychosis completely absolve a parent of criminal responsibility for killing their children, or should there still be some degree of punishment and legal accountability?"</p><p>I would like to query this legality </p><p>To ask what does it serve beside the case of Lindsay Clancy's Children but not the sake of the Lindsay Clancy herself </p><p>This I would argue shows society's inability to address women's inferiority complaints on this issue</p><p>Where reproductive labour done by women as mothers have a potential to reach to such drastic ends in the case of postpartum psychosis and depression </p><p>Or might we say for the sake of equality, accountability and legal responsibility of this murder that has been enact</p><p>The gender war that has been produced where it showcase the brevity and complex dimension of men's own case of fillicide</p><p>Why haven't we asked ourselves why that happens </p><p>Why are we always quick to punishment </p>
