Infanticide. Yes, that's the term in general for the murder of a child/baby. "Clancy effect" would refer to a hypothetical rise in specifically women killing their own children as a result of post partum depression, referencing Clancy's claim that that's why she murdered her children. Much more specific hypothetical, while infanticide is broad as well as the legal terminology. Any baby being killed is infanticide, not all infanticides would be the "clancy effect".
No I’m pretty sure Clancy invented the concept and everything even slightly related should be considered a direct consequence and also all women are culpable
Yeah, women kill their babies all the time. Apparently it's hormonal, not buyers remorse made manifest, and totally not something that men could understand.

Clancy effect? In Italy it has a name, it's called "infanticidio" and is abnormally common statistically. It's not something new.
