Well... really the point of this is, the woman is the one who gets pregnant either way, and deals with the changes to her body and the health risks. When a man coerces a woman to become pregnant, he is forcing her to use her body and take on changes and risks to which she does not consent. In the other case, even if a woman tricks a man (and court-ordered child support is not, let's face it, a path to riches, so as a strategy to get money out of someone it would be a very poor one) she is still the one who takes on the changes and risks.
