This is basically what it means. There is little/no direct consequence for male abortion which might keep the man staying when the compromise fails to be achieved (staying to better support the child in case of his birth.) Whether or not the woman wants to have the child, it is her who is going to suffer any and every possible traumas and hardship. For a woman, not wanting a child does not equal prompt abortion because there are strings attached, physical bindings, direct involvements in the child's death, depending on her viewpoint. She may not want the child at all and/or has no means to afford the birth, yet some are unable to bring themselves to ending a life by their own decision/commitment. When they do pick one way or the other, life hardship is effectively tripled for poor Sally, who picked an pimento and forgot her pills, and her child, if he has a life at all. The best part is while all the sufferings happen to one party, the other goes on enjoying his little game now made legal.
To put it in even simpler words: A man's abortion involves "to leave or not to leave" while a woman's is closer to "to kill or not to kill." And because they both contribute equally to the drama, it is fair to have them both suffer equally from it, not "Bye, it's your choice now."
Furthermore, the potential abuse, no, the very potential abuse will open way for even more abortion (because single parenting is not fun, I've seen it), which I do not claim to be bad, but neither a "whatever" deal.
