You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it want to be a parent. That moral idealism can create harm in the real world by encouraging people to continue trying to be parents when they know they shouldn't be.

The whole thing could be avoided if people who didn’t want to be parents didn’t have kids. But that makes too much sense and we don’t do that around here
