I feel like you’re mad at the wrong side. Parents do need to parent their kids but obviously they need to be given time to do so. I don’t feel it’s a cop out I think it’s a muti-step solution.
I think they mean it’s a cop out for people to say “parents need to parent” as a solution. The solution is “society needs to provide more support to parents.” Parenting your kids was a lot more possible when one income covered the fiscal needs of the household.
Accidents can happen, but if you use two contraceptive methods in tandem, it severely reduces the risk of pregnancy. It’s not impossible, it just needs one to be a responsible adult. And, obviously, we should be more vocal about sex education.
A cop out is when an adult skirts responsibility by saying “society is fucked, how could I ever be responsible for taking real care of my own chuldren??”. Again. If you can’t, use protection, don’t have kids. Society is fucked, yes, but adults must be responsible.
Time & resources would be good but I also think we as a society shouldn’t leave it all up to 2 random individuals who happened to have a child to ensure the healthy survival of humanity. You know what I mean? We all live together here, noone is an island, noone can do it all.
Yes! If society wants any firefighters, teachers, doctors, artists, whatever 30-50 years from now, parents and children of today need better community support, mental health resources, and better free education

This is it. Parent your kids is a cop out statement.
Don’t have kids if you can’t raise them well. Also, less slaves to feed into the machine.
A lot harder to agree with this statement when the abortion laws have regressed so much so recently.

That’s a cop out.
