@findingtayvon: Nancy Mace is facing major backlash after weighing in on the Lindsay Clancy case and the role postpartum mental illness can play in a criminal defense. Her argument is straightforward: if a postpartum mental illness diagnosis can be used to argue that someone was not criminally responsible for killing their children, then she questions whether that same diagnosis should raise serious concerns about custody. But there’s an important distinction: a mental-health diagnosis by itself does NOT automatically determine whether someone is dangerous, unfit to parent, or criminally responsible. Those questions are generally evaluated on the individual circumstances of the case. Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial ended in a mistrial after the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict. Her defense argued that severe postpartum psychosis affected her ability to understand the wrongfulness of her actions, while prosecutors argued that she was criminally responsible. (The Guardian) Now Nancy Mace’s comments have opened up an even bigger debate: Where should the legal system draw the line between mental illness, criminal responsibility, parental rights, and accountability?

Her state is in the top 5 of worst healthcare for prenatal and post partem care. She should call her friends and do something about that. The stats for South Carolina are ridiculous. NC is light-years ahead, so SC leadership has no excuses.
