Which, guess what? So can a woman. Since the in your scenario the guy already waved fatherhood away, she has sole custody. So she can give it away to adoption even in a country that requires both parents to sign the form. She can give it away in a baby hatch. But she has the option of not becoming a mother. Also, the risk health of abortion in early period isn't monumentally high. Neither is pregnancy generally speaking. And considering how fathers walking out on their families are already subject to social stigma and that abandoning your children sounds like something that could lead to guilt and other mental stigma, the same would apply to men who would choose not to be parents.
But it's clear as day you're being intellectually dishonest right now, so have fun doing so by yourself.
