“How is it that the mother can abandon her parental responsibilities even after birth, while a father cannot?”

While I do not totally disagree with that post, the man has invested a few minutes in the pregnancy at the cost of a few sperm cells. The woman, OTOH, has invested nine months and a great deal of expense and personal costs (not the least of which are life-long, life-changing physical changes).

I’m a guy, but I have never considered the gender positions equal in this mater. In short, the woman has EARNED some greater status.

It’s like the difference in the relationships of a chicken and a pig to a breakfast of ham and eggs. The chicken was involved, but the pig was committed.
