It's an unenforceable contract on her end. Amusingly, I maintain that;s it's a violation of those same rights and that same clause that a male can;t opt out - can't choose not to be a father. His privacy and autonomy are impacted by the choice of another, it deprives him of his liberty -and- property, and he doesn't enjoy equal protection under law with respect to the other.
I think the only way to allow the father to opt out is if the tax payers are going to be prepared to step in and fill his shoes financially.
I really don't get this. You think the mother has no responsibility? If she chooses to bring a baby into the world knowing the father wants no part in it, then she should be responsible for that baby in every way. If she cannot do that, then she shouldn't have a baby.
