Didn't claim otherwise, never said they should be able to craft their own laws or not be held responsible for being ignorant of the law when they made their agreement.

They aren't necessarily relevant to each other, they only are in this case because the law is as you say doing double duty. If the question of parentage wasn't part of the law (i.e. if there was no requirement to go through a clinic or a doctor and a contract was sufficient to remove the parental obligations and rights) they could still have the provision in the law for the public health interest. Just trying to stay focused on the paternity and obligation issue.
