The mention that Betan birth control only targets women made me pause too, though. Maybe it\'s because birth control would be seen as a matter of the woman\'s personal health, rather than a social or moral issue. I.e. men don\'t get birth control implants because men don\'t face the risk of unwanted pregnancy; it\'s a preventative treatment that\'s only given to those who need it. That would actually fit Beta\'s attitudes, I think: They\'d see pregnancy not as a social matter (beyond the need to limit the birth rate, which would probably also be seen as the woman\'s personal responsibility), or as an issue that involves two people; they\'d see pregnancy as a personal medical condition involving just one person, i.e. the pregnant woman. They treat it accordingly.
