Yes, in the real world, not everyone can have equal rights.
Let me elaborate:
An unwed sexually active couple find themselves accidentally pregnant. Beforehand, both had expressed not wanting to have children (one reason why they were unwed), which was why they were using birth control. However, this precaution had failed.
The woman has three options:
- abortion
- parenthood
- adoption
The man has one option:
- What the woman chooses
In this matter, the woman has ultimate (and unilateral if she so chooses) power of choice for three parties:
- Herself
- The child
- The man
The woman is the only one with the power to opt in or opt out.
There are laws and social expectations that guarantee this.
