another way of framing this....

...is it wrong to abort a girl? No, at least not as long as the mom is non-discriminating and willing to abort the baby if it is going to be a boy as well.

Hence, the 'unethical' element of killing the girl is not so much in killing the girl but in willingness to let the boy live.

this is absurd, of course, and why I say that logic of abortion inexorably leads to eugenics.
