Exdactly. You think that giving the man power over the woman's body is "fair" because it benefits the man.
I don't think it is fair to give the father rights over the woman's body. The "temporary inconvenience" could result in permanant medical problems, interfere with a job or education, or any number of other issues that are far from "temporary".
Men and women are different. A man can not get pregnant. But the only way to treat them equally is to let each of them have control over their own body. When technology advances to the point that the man can take the zygote and raise it as his own then he should have every right to do that, but the way things are right now there is no way you can give the father rights to the child without violating the individual rights of the mother. If the law is changed to favor the father then they are still unfair.
