The man can run away but cannot really eliminate the legal responsibility. The woman, however, can do it before and (unless there is opposition from the father) after the birth.



Before the birth? Within limits, yes, isn't that the whole reason for having abortion legal?

After the birth, I am not sure how would that work.


The point is that a woman can abort, a man cannot kill the unborn baby under any circumstances nor renege of it.

And giving babies for adoption is a thing, and not just in an anonymous “drop it somewhere where they will take care of it” sense.


Ok, just remembered baby-boxes exist :)
