The mother's body is responsible for the care of the fetus for 9 months. That includes her body's changes along the way and after.
It's not a perfect analogy...but one isn't sacrificing near as much. Maybe that's why we grant the mother's more leeway with choice and help financially.
Are pregnant women being chased by mountain lions or something?
Because that's the only way that women endure so much higher of a burden that it fits your analogy, at least in the first world.
What was the fatality rate from pregnancies in the first world last I checked, like a 19th of a percent?
