Are you saying that differences in reproductive organs are not a suitable basis for a mother to decide to abort her child? I think an adequate response one might make to this goes something like, "oh yeah. sez who?"

Maybe we should ask the question another way -- Of all the possible reasons a mother-not-to-be might base her decision to have an abortion, what reasons are unethical in your view?
I never paused to try and make a list. do you wish to?
