It's not a double standard. The womb belongs to the woman. She gets to decide if the fetus lives or dies. If she wants to have the baby and someone else kills it, they can be charged for murder (and rightly so, IMHO). If she wishes to terminate, it is within her rights (and none other) to do so.
I'm perfectly happy with leaving this decision up to the people that actually possess a womb (and then only their own).
Of course, this will no doubt bring on the whine, "What about the father?" Suck it up... life's hard, wear a helmet and find a woman that will honor your wishes as equally as her own.
