Between the time of conception and birth a women can decide not to have the responsibilities of being a parent. A man cannot. This is in the best interests of society but it is fundementally unequal
And as stated before the correlary is that if the man wished to be a parent he does not have that choice. (this time in the best interests of the indvidual rather than of society)
So reproductive law from the time the time of conception until the time of birth is unequal. A man cannnot opt out of financial responsibilities of being a birth father a women can.
