Abort mission. Women have it worse. I'm no expert in this but physical health threat, mental traumas are both possible, because, again, the woman is directly ridding off the life form.
And no, if you're in a true relationship, do you think it will be easy for a man to turn his back on the woman when it is pretty much guaranteed it will break them up forever? And the current system HAS that distastefulness, but it is administered by the woman.
And the thing is, if you're in for a true relationship, you can talk it over just fine with the girl. If she shuts you out and make the decision on her own, it isn't very different from you saying "kthxbye" and waltz away with this system. So no, serious relationships are not based on equally fair treatment, but on mutual understanding and reasonable compromise, at least in my opinion.
The current system obviously has its flaw, but as a guy, I find it disgusting for other guys to seek convenience for themselves without considering the situation further than "she also has the choice, well.. same choice as before!"
The flaw lays in the natural fact that pregnancy is a woman's exclusive right, until you can make that fair, nothing can be fair.
Yes, I'm a biased sexist and I believe that gentlemen need to act like gentlemen.
