New boarding announcement

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.

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.

Hopefully this tamps down the social contagion that "feelings" trump basic responsibilities and consequences for poor choices. (sigh)...hope in one hand,

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.
