Thoughts on gender motivated abortions?

[MrSlayer]

55. To an extent, everything is.

Let's not exaggerate the circumstances. I have two kids and at no time was my wife's life ever in danger from being pregnant. In fact, I don't know anyone in my entire circle of family, friends or acquaintances that have either. Of course sometimes complications occur but we aren't living in frontier times where every routine pregnancy might result in death. Using that blanket excuse is merely condoning abhorrent behavior.

But, again, women are free to do what they want. Just don't try to tell me that abortion for gender preference is the same as abortion for health reasons. It's insulting.

Safe, legal and rare is the mantra. Rare, as in only when absolutely necessary. Gender selection does not fit the spirit of why I'm pro-choice. I wouldn't do anything to stop it, there's too many people in the world as it is and restricting for this reason just leads to restriction for all reasons, but I can't see an argument that would convince me that this practice isn't morally reprehensible.

My being male is irrelevant to the conversation.
