At some point in the future, once science gets the bugs worked out, male pregnancy would probably be less difficult than female pregnancy, simply because men tend to be larger. Once it becomes available, and more men start getting pregnant, the sitgma on it will lessen, and there will be social pressure on men to carry the baby instead of their wives (either alternating pregnancies or possibly even all male pregnancies). Do you think that most of the objection is from men who are afraid/don't want to get pregnant? And do you happen to know of any articles against male pregnancy? here is a related link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/men_should_get_pregnant/ I really don’t understand why so many people object to male pregnancy.

Talk about shifting your views on gender! From a practical perspective, though, this could be wonderful for couples in which the woman has viable eggs, but just can't carry a baby. I imagine though that religious folks would have a fit with the thought of "tampering" with God's design in such a way and pressure the powers to be to snatch away federal funding from any group who even thought about trying such an innovation.
