Well, think about it. Is it best to

a) Take your baby to a fire station and drop it off, allowing it to be adopted into a loving home
or
b) Keep the child at home, sticking it in a closet, yelling and swearing at it, burning it with cigarette butts, leaving it hungry in a filthy diaper all day while you party and feed your drug habit?

I know you will think there is a 3rd option... somehow forcing the parent to keep the child and become decent parents. But the reality is that you can't legislate the hearts of man. You can't FORCE someone to be a loving nurturing person. And to try and do so is to deliberately endanger children.
