Lindsay Clancy is a 32-year-old Massachusetts woman who is on trial this week after confessing to murdering her 3 small children in 2023. Her defense contends that she was suffering from a postpartum psychosis that was responsible for her actions. She's testified that she heard voices telling her to kill the children, and that at the time of the killings, she was suffering from extreme mental illness, and a shocking cocktail of psychiatric medications. While it's difficult to analyze this particular trial without sitting in the courtroom and hearing all of the testimony, it's not difficult to analyze the deep flaws within American culture right now, as we look at the social media responses to this trial. Let's see what we can find out.

In 2021, Planned Parenthood published an article, arguing that abortion proponents should change their language and quit using the terms pro-choice or pro-abortion. They said the problem is that those terms seem to imply that abortion is a badthing. They seem to imply that abortion is a bad thing. Instead, they said, let's change the terminology to other more positive upbeat things, because we don't want to stigmatize abortion as somehow being bad. Well, that's just what abortion proponents would do. This is typical. Instead of confronting the reality that abortion kills a living human baby, their solution is, let's monkey with the propaganda and the vocabulary so that we can continue to hide the reality of this barbaric practice. Let's talk about the state of abortion in America today.

One of the fun parts about being a pastor is that when I meet somebody who then finds out what I do, I get a whole range of responses. Sometimes there's respect, sometimes there's fascination, and sometimes there's a smirk. A smirk that suggests, “Oh, you're one of those.” Gullible, backward, non-intellectual. And I love those encounters, because I love it when people underestimate me. Let's talk about intelligence and Christianity.
