Too many people enter into parenthood without the means or discipline to really care for a child. Some can't afford it, some can't handle the responsibility. I don't think we should punish those who freely admit that they are not at a point where they can adequately care for a child. If they aren't ready, should we force them to carry to term and just hope for the best? Hope that the parent will suddenly get their act together and raise a happy, healthy child? Or should we wonder if maybe the parent, who admits to their inadequacy, may be right in their decision?
To the OP:
Men and women have near equal potential in this culture. In our culture I would say aborting the child for being the 'wrong' sex would be abortion for cosmetic reasons.
