your question was why basing the decision to terminate on the gender was unethical. if the mother was evaluating if she should carry to term, the gender of the baby shouldn't have any influence on that decision as it makes no difference. a male or a female baby are identical in all elements save for their gonads.

you just painted with far too wide a brush there, md. You can't possibly tell what "makes no difference" to anyone other than yourself....and I don't think you have ovaries.

From what I understand about abortion law, its really up to the individual woman to decide on what determining factor/s motivate her to abort her pregnancy....so issues like gender could be reasonable if it was deemed such by an individual woman. If she found out she was carrying a male and only wanted a female is no different from her deciding that she just didn't want a baby at this time at her life because it would be so inconvenient and slow down her pursuit of self advancement. That is at least how I understand the abortion law. But I am no expert.

but I have been complimented for my breasts.

this talk just got a little hotter.
