Postpartum depression is real. Childbirth wrecks mothers’ bodies and then there’s a whole new cocktail of hormones. Makes sense these other women would sympathize.

She’s guilty; maybe the extreme situation sheds light on a problem and the silver lining is more parents get better help.

She is not a victim in the slightest. Plenty of people have severe mental health issues and the vast majority never harm a soul. As for progressive women supporting her, shocker (but not really)…

Two things can be true at once:

Postpartum mental health is real, and deserves familial and societal support toward healthy outcomes.

That woman betrayed the most fundamental contract of the species, and placed her ills ahead of her vulnerable children; she is herself not deserving of sympathy, instead of the full weight of punishment.

Agreed, 100%. Just like BFM said, two things are true. It’s tragic what happened to those kids. Hopefully something good comes out of the situation.

Sadly the best thing coming out of this situation is further exposing progressives for being ok with murdering children, whether in or out of the womb.

Glass half full—hopefully this builds SA so sick mothers get the help they need before they do something irreversible.

Hopefully this tamps down the social contagion that "feelings" trump basic responsibilities and consequences for poor choices.

(sigh)...hope in one hand,

In our hyper-individualist society where it’s all about “me”…

We need to have more common values. I concur on personal responsibility.

Lots of people want to pass the buck and won’t take ownership. Not cool. Realizing you need help and getting help is cool.

It wasn't postpartum depression, it was postpartum psychosis. And there is a well-documented history for this woman of battling it.

Obviously everything about it is a tragedy, but this is a textbook insanity defense. That doesn't mean she should walk free, but she should not be put into a prison with rational actors that made criminal choices.

Maybe not jail, but she should never be free again. Strangled her 3 kids one at a time. Insanity is never an excuse for murder. Tragic and absolutely abhorrent situation.

How unfortunate that starting with Kennedy and ending with Reagan, the United States basically closed down all the insane asylums.

It would be a pretty handy place for all of the drug-ruined homeless, in addition to women who lose their mind and kill their children.
