What imbalance? A man might rape a woman, eliminating her initial choice in the matter. A man can choose not to have sex with a woman he doesn't trust. If he has sex, he can use a condom.
So, the only man deprived of choice is the one unlucky guy who has a condom failure. That would be comprise, at most, 1% of pregnancies. Among that 1%, there will be a certain number of men that would plead for the woman to have an abortion, and the woman not listen. Generously, that's 1/4 of 1% of all pregnancies.
So, a miniscule percentage of fathers are penalized by this "imbalance." Of course, there is a greater victim: the child who lacks support, and a third victim, the taxpayers who will need to shoulder the burden on the child if the man does not. The father is the least of the three victims. Easy choice.
