All things aren't equal in this case. Child birth can be incredibly taxing on a woman's body. Some women would need more time to recover.
Wouldn't that woman want her husband around to help her recover then?
Not always. Similarly, you could conceivably need to take a sick day without needing your partner to stay home to take care of you.
The difference being that there's also a newborn in this case.
That's medical disability.
