Lindsay Clancy Truthers Are The Best Argument For Repealing The 19th Amendment
The Federalist ^ | August 31, 2026 | Rebeka Zeljko

Posted on 08/31/2026 8:42:39 AM PDT by Carl Vehse

[S]uffragettes argued that women possessed the same intellectual capabilities to exercise political judgement as men, and therefore they should be granted the same political privileges as their husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons.

Unfortunately for women, Lindsay Clancy truthers are now doing their best to prove those suffragettes wrong. Women’s constitutions and hormonal balances are so precarious, they argue, that women should be exempted from our criminal laws and ruled incapable of making moral judgments. Sounds oddly reminiscent of the “sexist” men they claim to detest.

It’s highly unlikely that a majority of women would condone Clancy’s actions, but a nonzero amount do, and those women don’t hesitate to assert that they speak for “all women.”

In fact Lindsay Clancy may join Andrea Yates in the nervous hospital. Mrs Yates still is in one, I figured she will be for life her mind is gone.

It is essential to separate the details of the Clancy case from the greater issue of why so many women are predisposed to sympathize with the perpetrators of lethal violence against innocent victims. (Although Clancy was almost certainly not legally insane, events like this are multiply determined, and it is a fools errand to try at long distance with fragmentary information to discover a definable cause.)

Consider serial killers like Ted Bundy showered with fan mail from women while on death row. Women professing to admire Luigi Mangione. The female phenomenon of the Stockholm effect. Women gloating over the murder of Charlie Kirk, and lamenting the lack of success in Trump assassination attempts. What does this say about the prevailing winds in a generally leftist media driven culture.

The most unsafe home for a child is in the home of a single mother.

Seeing these crazed women supporting Clancy tells anyone all they need to know about which gender is unfit.

You belong on DUmmies, how about you move on.

We start by making the conservative, Christian case for happiness and good values to women.

This seems like a good place to start:

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

I’ve often noted that women (and I’m one) seem to be bowled over by looks, ridiculous ideas and stupidity dressed up as care. Decades ago I realized how easy it is to be distracted by looks and duplicity. Anything that sounds “easy” and too smooth should be examined more thoroughly. Most don’t bother. Look at Talarico in TX and think seriously...this would’ve alarmed 95% of our country 20 years ago and today? To think he could win, or even come close is frightening. We’ve lost our country to stupidity and carelessness.

"the ONLY good thing to come out of this Linda Clancy disaster has been the outing of just how crazy a large majority of women are in this country."

I am truly concerned for the future of the Human Race.

Women used to keep Men's occasional impulse to do something dangerous, life altering, and idiotic in check (I know my better half does !).

Women today are just as impulsive and reckless as men are when they are at their worst.

The ever prescient El Rushbo first coined the term "Arousal Gap" to describe women's overwhelming preference for Clinton over Dole in 1996.

It's humorless women that overcompensate.

If women over compensate it is because men always disappoint.

So you think women shouldn’t have the vote but I’m the dummie.

Go back to the 1800s Joe. You’ll be more comfortable there.

Hinckley buzzard @62: ”It is essential to separate the details of the Clancy case from the greater issue of why so many women are predisposed to sympathize with the perpetrators of lethal violence against innocent victims.”

In that case, unfortunately, the same disposition of many pro-life people will need to be discussed in that “greater issue”.

In his August 27, 2026, Federalist article, “The Lindsay Clancy Case Exposes Big Pro-Life’s Woke ‘Second Victim’ Lie”, Dusty Deevers wrote, in part:

Three children are dead at Lindsay Clancy’s hand, yet a rotten culture has rallied to make her the central victim. That reflex exposes a deep connection between Big Pro-Life, feminism, and wokeness. We cannot establish justice until we confront it.

Big Pro-Life insists that a mother who intentionally kills her preborn child is abortion’s “second victim,” not a morally responsible agent. The response to Lindsay Clancy carries that same presumption outside the womb: The mother is centered as victim, and accountability is recast as cruelty….

Big Pro-Life cannot wash its hands of this spectacle. For decades, it has preached the same moral grammar now displayed outside that courtroom: When a mother murders her child, center her suffering, relocate agency onto doctors, drugs, systems, or circumstances, and treat accountability as another act of cruelty against her.

The Clancy response is not an aberration from the second-victim doctrine, but that doctrine logically extended from preborn children to born children….

National Right to Life declares that “the pro-life movement recognizes the mother as a second victim in every abortion” and expressly grounds its opposition to punishment or prosecution in that doctrine….

Even Americans United for Life acknowledges that “nearly every state explicitly exempts women from the penalties and punishments associated with violating an abortion law.” There is not a single state in America that treats abortion as prenatal homicide. The pro-life legal framework has thereby created a protected class of perpetrators: mothers who intentionally abort their children.
Furthermore, laws in states that ban or restrict abortion often have specific language in the statute that exempts a pregnant woman who has an abortion from criminal or civil liability.

Also, you did not address the facts presented but instead took a personal attack, falsely accusing me of going along with the crowds outside the Clancy trial. Where’d you get that info? Oh, I know, nowhere.

Personal attack, no thinking involved. My post showed where I stood and it is not with the left.

Is easiest to understand in today’s times..

Everyone is simply awful.

Every word out of our mouth is hurtful in some way. We’ll either have to speak like vulcans or simply hate everyone and everything we hear.

The human race grows weary of the human race.

After years of therapy I’ve come to my own realization (or is it? Don’t know ) that my mother has abused me in profound ways. I hate it and now pretty much hate her. It seems to be going toward no-contact.

But then I remember that no one is perfect. And both things become true. Yes, it’s been malicious and abusive and yes, she loves me and would die for me.

And likewise men ARE the biggest security threat to women and yes, they are also their biggest foundational security presence.

I get why women would choose the bear, and I get why women chose the richest and I get why women take from men as a survival instinct. Do I like it? No. But I get it.
