The Dark Shadow of Abortion and Lindsay Clancy
Judge William Sullivan, the Superior Court judge in the Lindsay Clancy murder case, declared a mistrial on September 4 after the jurors failed to reach a unanimous verdict.
After seven days of deliberation, the jury couldn’t agree whether the Massachusetts mom was criminally responsible for strangling her three kids. Apparently one juror felt Clancy was guilty of the crime and wouldn’t budge from his position. The others were prepared to acquit.
The mistrial stunned the nation–particularly families. How could a mom methodically strangle each of her three children and get away with it?
The high-profile trial took place in Plymouth, Massachusetts, home of the Pilgrims–who would have most certainly convicted Mrs. Clancy.
I believe the dark cloud of abortion hovers over this mistrial and the world.
Here’s why.

Praying for The Midterms
I never thought much about midterm elections. They were the “B” game after the “A” game of presidential years. Choosing a president was important–directing the entire ship of state for four years. But the measly midterms? I always voted in them, but many of my friends didn’t bother.
For decades, the midterm elections made little impact because America operated out of a Judeo-Christian worldview. The Democrats championed the working classes and the poor, and Republicans supported business and the military. But both parties believed in God and generally anchored their platforms in the Ten Commandments and Golden Rule.
No longer.
Two worldviews are vying for cultural supremacy in the USA and Western World: biblical freedom and totalitarianism. The 2026 midterms will swing the pendulum one way or the other.
We need to increase our prayers for the midterm elections.
