- The option of adoption is available only if *both* parents agree
- to relinquish the child.

- The only choice the woman has that the father doesn't is the choice
- to abort the foetus (in which case no child is born, and the man has
- no support obligation). This inequality devolves from the fact that
- the pregnancy occurs inside the woman's body.
