Lindsay Clancy pink rallies spark bizarre 'repeal the 19th Amendment' calls: What it means

A Massachusetts mother, Lindsay Clancy, is on trial for the 2023 murders of her three young children. Her defense claims she was not criminally responsible due to severe mental illness, while prosecutors argue the killings were intentional and premeditated. Over 300 supporters gathered outside Plymouth Superior Court, many holding signs and wearing buttons favoring "Peace for Lindsay" or "Justice for Lindsay."

Their actions have sparked online backlash, with some calling for the "Repeal the 19th Amendment." This amendment, ratified in 1920, ensures the right to vote cannot be denied based on sex.
