Don't miss
The central confrontation over whether postpartum psychosis and medication can explain the Lindsay Clancy case without removing personal accountability.
The brief
Steven Crowder and Josh Firestine challenge Tucker Carlson’s claim that nuclear weapons reflect humanity’s rejection of God, defending deterrence and questioning unilateral disarmament.
The Lindsay Clancy case becomes a test of competing ideas about postpartum psychosis, psychiatric medication, planning, and whether mental illness can reduce criminal responsibility.
Crowder broadens the accountability argument through discussion of social-media reactions, parental overwhelm, and Hayden Panettiere, presenting enablement as a cultural pattern.
The final stretch turns to fetal personhood, miscarriage prosecutions, Margaret Sanger, and Planned Parenthood, arguing that fetal rights need not erase maternal rights.
