True, but most of the time it is the mother that is the primary carer of the child and who pays most of the way (unless the relationship continues into a situation where both parents contribute, but even then research shows that the mother is still the primary carer). It's also the mother that has to sacrifice her entire body. When I was pregnant the father didn't support me in any productive way whatsoever, even though he wanted to, he couldn't, and any financial help was frivolous compared to the rest of the stuff I had to go through. My view is biased, but it makes me angry that these laws are primarily determined and discussed by men.
