Lindsay Clancy pink rallies spark bizarre 'repeal the 19th Amendment' calls: What it means
Hindustan Times ^ | August 21, 2026 | Vaishnavi Vaidyanathan

Groups of women dressed in pink gathered outside Plymouth Superior Court this week in support of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother on trial for the 2023 deaths of her three young children.

Clancy's defense does not dispute that she killed her children but argues that she should not be held criminally responsible because she was suffering from severe mental illness. Prosecutors say the killings were intentional and premeditated.

Many of the women held signs or wore buttons reading "Peace for Lindsay" and "Justice for Lindsay."

According to AP, several of the roughly 300 people who gathered said Clancy’s story resonated with them and that they wanted to draw attention to how the mental health system treats women.

The show of support has also sparked a strong reaction online, with some critics responding with the slogan "Repeal the 19th Amendment."

One person wrote on X, “Ok I’ve seen enough. Repeal the 19th amendment.”

Another posted, “Y’all do realize this might be a huge impact on repealing the 19th amendment and I am here for it.”

A third wrote, “More and more men—and women—are starting to understand why there’s a repeal the 19th amendment movement."

The call for repeal of the 19th is a rational response to the utter irrationality of women who have lost their minds and believe murdering their children in utero or thereafter is reasonable. In 100+ years of the 19th amendment the most important issue for women has become a to destroy their offspring at their whim.

Stupid idea. It would allow Republican states to ban women from voting, which would not happen, and would also allow Democrat states to ban men from voting, which they would.

If women couldn’t vote, literally all 50 states would vote Republican.

The call for repeal of the 19th is a psy-op to get more women to vote Democrat because “toxic misogynists are going to take their rights away”.

“call for repeal of the 19th is a psy-op to get more women to vote Democrat because “toxic misogynists are going to take their rights away”.”

A few decades ago a bunch of irresponsible men who didn’t want to face responsibility for out of wedlock children convinced women to murder their own babies.
And now they are all twisted out of shape hating men who wouldn’t do that.
I value my right to vote over just about everything but I would give it up to stop this current culture of women from voting.
We have a deadly serious mental health crisis with women.

Mostly because they have no strong moral men in their lives.

Groups of women dressed in pink gathered...in support of Lindsay Clancy.


Supporting a woman who murdered her three children? What is happening to common sense in America?

If she truly was crazy, lock her in an asylum for the rest of her days. Don’t let her out when ‘she’s better, now’.

Women who support murderesses certainly shouldn’t vote. While it is well-known that all women are at least a 4 on the crazy scale, I hope most women don’t support her or what she’s done.

It's a completely irrational response because there is literally a 0% chance that it ever happens. The only impact of making that demand is to hand leftists an easy bit of propaganda that conservatives are trying to deprive women of the right to vote.

A lot of women I know are in favor of it.

Repealing the 19th has been a consistent suggestion on FR as long as I’ve been posting here.
No small number of FReeper ladies have agreed with the sentiment.

Those nutbag women are not representative of all the women in this country.

The problem is a legal system that would even make it possible for some women to get away with murdering 3 children and escape without a life sentence like males who murder their kids get.

Now all these kook women are being given free pass to kill their children. Whether they really have a psych episode, or are just pretending, they will now use it all the time to escape any punishment.

This kind of horror story would stop they day they get life in prison or the death penalty.

The cheerleader Kentucky woman who suffocated her newborn and stuck him in a closet is claiming the same temp insanity type defense.

Women in America have been spoiled rotten. Self centered people who refuse to grow up and take on responsibility.

I did it at nineteen. Went on to have 3 sons and it was not easy but I did it without nannies and daycare. This Clancy woman had all that and it was still too hard of a job.

The same Feminists who pushed for women to have the freedom to kill their children also claimed irresponsible men were to blame for the movement.

The abortion movement in the U.S. is and has always been female.

The "deadbeat dads" you blame had no power nor drive to change anything.

Truth is that there is no way for anyone to really know if this woman is crazy or not. I agree with you. She needs to be locked up.

She is a triple murderer.

Remember when people claimed that equal rights would lead to men in women’s bathrooms and that the abortion crowd wanted to kill babies? It’s not satisfying to be proved right.

Do women get to vote in Muslim countries - cuz that’s where we’re headed.

Actually, does anyone get to vote in Muslim countries?
