Well, in reality, some laws are more convenient for some than others because different people have different circumstances etc, as mentioned.
Like abortion ban is more of a burden on women than men, on poor than rich, on unhealthy than healthy.
And then if you bring politics into this, some laws would seem even less fair because they were made with the "ulterior" motive to differentiate and then target specific group of people even though they seem to apply to everyone on the surface.
