"With great power, comes great responsibility."
When it comes to human life, that applies to women. But even though we wish a certain use of that responsibility by women, we must leave the decision to women alone. It is women's cross to bear, and it is their decision how to bear it. We have the right to have opinions about their choices, but not to mandate them.
Men are use to control in many aspects of our society. But nature or god or whatever did not give them this control. It may seem unfair. But when women are treated as "crazy" for having periods, or when women are shunned for being teenage moms and the boys aren't, or when they are sick from pregnancy, or when they can't sleep at night for pregnancy, or when they can't have a drink while their husband has several, or when they are in the pain of child labor, or when they are nursing a baby in the middle of the night and aren't sleeping, or when they give up their jobs to take care of a baby, or when they are single mom's who don't get child support, etc., it isn't very fair either.
As my mother said, "Life isn't always fair."
