As a progressive party, the Greens have long supported the rights of all women, including mothers, to reach their full potential.
It would run counter to Green Party philosophy to suggest that a new baby would be a disadvantage.
But it could quietly reinforce the primary argument being run by Davidson supporters - that Genter is already committed as a minister with three portfolios (Women, Associate Transport and Associate Health) and that an MP more independent of Government is required to tend to party membership.
As Minister for Women and an MP in a progressive party, is it hardly surprising that Genter decided she could be a minister, co-leader and a new mother all at the same time.
One hopes she didn't have some ambivalence but felt obliged to plough on with those ambitions as a progressive role model.
If that is the case, she still has time to reconsider.
Green delegates don't begin voting in the contest for another five weeks.
Having had two miscarriages, no one will be more acutely aware than Genter of the need to protect herself and her baby.
Genter deserves the right to aim as high as she can, but also deserves the right to alter her expectations if she wants to.
