You are right, of course Jörmungandr. The child should not be forgotten in this discussion.
If you would follow the idea, you would, in my opinion, ideally need some kind of well-equiped fund to support single parents. So they could have the option of raising a child without it suffering a hindrance in it's opportunities and upbringing. At least on a financial side.
This would require more taxes of course. Like disability payments or unemployment cheques. As a society we'd have to accept that one day we might find ourselves in this situation. The small fees of the many financing those relative few who actually find themselves in the position.
I'm not sure I agree a potential parent, male or female, made their choice at conception, though. Especially not if they take necessary precautions but they fail somehow, from ripped condom to forgetting to take the pill.
