Um, I highly doubt that she does not face "repercussions" in doing either of those, but I will leave the topic of psychosocial impact as an aside.
And I agree that it is not even, but it was never even from a biological perspective. Her body bears the child, and the child is considered part of her own body until birth, and thus she has control over her own body and its contents. I am sure if the father alone wanted to adopt it, he is free to do so, pending child welfare approval.
