I mentioned it as it relates to re-entering the workforce, which can be necessitated by divorce. The policy encourages one parent to stay at home which decreases their opportunities should their current family dynamic fail, and could be a factor in forcing one parent to stay in a marriage that has become abusive. Universal child care doesn't have the same risks associated with it.
Edit: It's also not like divorce is the only way someone becomes a single parent.
