It's a matter of being responsible for your own actions. Don't want to be responsible for a human life? Don't impregnate a female.

Yes, as I said: men are disposable, and women are cherished.

Assuming no rape/nonconsent in either scenario:

Male impregnates a female and regrets it: too bad, you're held responsible and have to help take care of the offspring.

Female gets impregnated and regrets it: you're not held responsible, you're allowed to kill the offspring and don't have to help take care of it if you don't want to.

Chivalry never died, in a strange sort of way. I'm not complaining about this; I just find it interesting to point it out.
