7. Because it exists for one biological sex and not the other is fair game, and a fair equivalency.

Because the religious reasons against abortion are not based in science. Religions which are extremely patriarchal.

One could just as easily write a book of stories about spilt seed and jacking off and what an abomination it is. And never say anything about abortion.

One might go hmmmmmm... that seems a bit sexist...

Take it from the group of persons who experience the outcomes of this extreme religiosity that it is absolutely sexist.

Possibly, one could say and go to their congress persons that many men of a certain age cease to have erections, we could call that the will of God. Seems silly, right... Well, many women feel the exact same freaking way about the choice they make concerning their reproduction. Men do get erections and their penises are a function of reproduction.
