As the jury deliberates in the Lindsay Clancy trial, a disturbing question is emerging: Should mothers who kill their children receive lesser punishment simply because they recently gave birth?I had no idea about the infanticide laws across the Western world. And once you see how other countries handle cases like this you will be SHOCKED. Under Britain’s Infanticide Act, a mother who kills her child under the age of one can face a lesser charge if her mental state was affected by childbirth or lactation—and prison sentences in these cases are rare. Postpartum psychosis is real—but does it excuse murder? And should America follow the UK’s example?
