The law also compels men to carry fetus's to term against their will, should they happen to become pregnant somehow.

Just because men can't get pregnant doesn't mean that the law doesn't apply to them.

Well, lately, men can get pregnant. I haven't really thought this through, but I think that if you take the liberal position and regard trans men as men, then you can't claim equal protection as an argument against abortion restrictions.
