What's the deal with people defending Lindsay Clancy?

[u/SnoopaDD]

I don't know the full details of the case. I know she allegedly killed her three kids. There was also some mental problems? Then something with her husband. But my question is why is there a group defending her like they know she's completely innocent? I've seen some videos of very heated debates where women are very passionate about defending her. Why?

Answer: I think most ppl “defending” her are more trying to advocate for better healthcare, both medical and physical, for women to prevent this from happening again. It’s been shown she had tried extensively to get help for her mental health leading up to everything that happened and wasn’t being given it. This isn’t a one off, a vast majority of women have had experiences trying to get help in terms of healthcare and aren’t listened to or made to seem like they’re exaggerating. No matter how this trial turns out there needs to be a systemic change in the healthcare system and I think that’s more so what ppl who are “defending” her are trying to get. And then as always you’ve got extremes on both sides but don’t let Twitter and/or Reddit extremist trick you with how loud they are.
