So she has to put her name in the paper. It’s not like everyone doesn’t see that she’s pregnant. I am not sure I get the problem.
A young woman who gets pregnant might take a leave of absence from work, or take some time off from college and go live with her parents from when the pregnancy starts showing until after the child is born to attempt to avoid the stigma of bearing a child out of wedlock among fellow students or coworkers.
If she has to put her name in the newspaper where the child was conceived, that option does not exist.
It would seem that she could avoid that is she could contact the father and notify him so the newspaper ad would be unnecessary. It seems like it would be only a very small portion of such pregnancies in which the mother would have no way of notifying the father. It makes me wonder in how many cases the mother is simply unwilling to notify the father, and is hoping that the newspaper ad will not be noticed by the father or anyone that could tie the information in the advertisement to him and let him know.
I don't see any purpose in embarrassing these women who are doing the right things by bearing these children and then putting them up for adoption rather than having an abortion.
However, the father does have a right to know that they have a child and they have the right to assert their parental rights if they choose to do so.
