That's not what the law says everywhere. In some countries in Europe, the father has to legally acknowledge his paternity before or just after the birth. If he doesn't, he doesn't have to take responsability for the child. He can even bail out and he won't be held responsible, legally.

Also, I'd like to add how (from a Western perspective) christianity has influenced that perception. Women are seen as natural mothers, to whom motherhood comes as easily as breathing, who are supposed to love and nurture. When they're not like that, they're seen as bad mothers and abnormal women. I'm not saying I endorse this (certainly not, gosh), but I'm just highlighting the role it plays in what you're describing.

The show is based off American standards, so I'm using the culture of that country and cultures similar to that country's. There are several European cultures that deviate from this understanding of paternal rights, but the culture the show is based upon does not.
