I think you'll find that very, very few, if any abortions are carried out on something as retarded as gender. It flaws your argument when you pick out ridiculous points like that, omitting the real issues.

If the woman doesn't want a baby, then don't have unprotected sex - very simple! THAT is when the woman has the right to make the "choice" about her body.

1% of abortions are due to rape/incest.
6% of abortions are due to medical concerns for the mother.
93% of abortions are due to social reasons - the child is unwanted or inconvenient.

I reiterate - if the a child would be considered unwanted or inconvenient, then the woman should make the "choice" to NOT have unprotected sex. That still protects her right to choice and also protects the right of the unborn child who did nothing to deserve death other than being created.
