It makes me think if Amanda really did have an abortion. She mentions it in Oasis, and Sex Changes is sort of like a warning to teenage girls.
Although this could simply be a metaphor. Sort of like Half Jack? Half Jack is not about a hermaphrodite (like most people think), but about having some genes from someone who was hardly there in your life and wanting it out of your system. Not Mine is sort of like this.
To me it seems like Amanda is saying that because she's never really gotten to know her biological father; the qualities she possesses are not of her mother, but her real father whom she's never known and can't really relate. She sums it all up with "I don't know if you're the father, there isn't anyway it's mine." Simply: I don't know who you are, but what I am is not me.

I dunno, it's kind of confusing to explain.
