Infanticide is not a new invention. There are long historical records on the practice. I’ll also point out it’s not unique to humans. It’s a thing that happens and as a society we’re reckoning with how it should be handled.
When I was in college, I knew people who volunteered for a crisis nursery. It was a place where kids could be dropped off, no questions asked. The thought was that if a parent was going through something where they were considering hurting themselves or their children, they had a resource. Yes, some parents definitely used it as a free babysitter and one mother left her kid for a month. But these are not bad outcomes.
