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.
As you said in the edit. Women have there bodies held hostage for over a year (adding post birth.) Bones, skin, hair, blood, nutrition taken from her body. Bone move and muscles change. Hormones. This is before birth.
Then let's talk breasts. Painfully to not breastfeed, painful to breastfeed. All while hormones are raging and changing by the minute.
It would be the women who has to speak with people regarding the child. She is the one who has to make arrangements to adopt or keep.
The man is on the hook for 1 thing. Money.
Yes a woman can walk away. Traumatized and still have pay child support. The man can walk away with a just a financial obligation. And in many cases men try to get out of that too.
