People aren't having enough children. Every extra hurdle is going to reduce the number of people who end up parents.

> Potentially break the cycles of bad parenting

You can't break cycles of bad parenting, because they are 2nd order effects of cycles of trauma. And cycles of trauma have been a fundamental part of human civilization since we've existed. We absolutely should teach compassion, good parenting 101s and basic logistical upskilling as a part of high school for both men and women.

But, expecting humans as a whole to suddenly start acting with decency is not going to happen.
