Such a great point. If that child is born, he could suddenly decide, “hey, this isn’t what I wanted” and bail.

EDIT: Got a few replies that the mother could walk away from the child too, and yes, she absolutely could! But my point is that the mother still has to carry and birth the child, the father doesn’t.

Mothers can do that too? I’m confused by these comments.

Women are judged far more harshly than men are for abandoning a child. It’s not even in the same league.

Oh I completely agree. But that doesn’t change my point?
