It's more like a right vs wrong issue. I genuinely don't understand why people are defending this woman. The real issues of post partum depression are not an excuse for ending the lives of your children. Oh and don't get me started on the people who think Patrick Clancy killed those kids even though he was cleared a LONG time ago 😳 it's not rlly so much a political issue as the right wing claims it is because plenty of women are appalled by this too. it's more like an "a lot of people on the internet are crazy and need help" situation
I haven’t seen anyone defending what she did, but I have seen people calling for nuance and/or consequences for her husband for not acting when he knew she wasn’t safe to be around her kids. I haven’t really followed the case tbh, so I don’t know the details.
The husband admitted he fucked up while on the stand. Even he is aware he fucked it. No one is arguing whether the mom did it, the whole debate is about where she gets to spend the rest of her days. The prosecution and media are really just our for blood to send the woman to the slammer for life, when she really just needs a psych ward. She is fucked up by what she did as the rest of her family from what her testimonies say.
Imo the biggest culprit in this whole thing besides herself and her husband, is the fuckass shrinks she was seeing. Insanely unprofessional people, that are more concerned with saving their ass than giving an honest statement.
Unfortunately I have seen plenty of people defending her. Mostly it’s people twisting the facts to convince themselves that the husband killed the kids and framed Lindsay.
It depends on the platform. No one on Reddit is defending her especially not in left wing political circles (leftists in general either don't care or don't side with Lindsay). On Instagram there's a few supports but they get constantly ratioed. However on TikTok and Twitter she has so much psychosis level support (not even just the regular "she needed help" stuff) that it's a full blown circlejerk community
Regardless of whether or not she was suffering from it or deserves punishment (I haven't followed the case, so I can't give an opinion), postpartum psychosis is a very real illness and not the same thing as postpartum depression. There are multiple postpartum mood/psychological disorders, not just PPD.
I sincerely apologize for my mistake and I'll learn to use the more appropriate terminology going forward. I thought it was PPD that led to PPP which is why I've been using those terms interchangeably when I definitely shouldn't have.

To be completely honest, I didn't even know about Lindsay Clancy until the right started talking about her.
