I generally agree with Crompsin here. In fact, strictly speaking I'm not sure I think aborting because of the baby's sex is any worse than aborting because the parent isn't ready. The problem is that if all unprepared parents abort, then it doesn't have an effect on the balance of sexes. If parents get in the habit of aborting girls, then you end up with a country full of men and not enough women to pair with. It's not that one reason for abortion is inherently worse than the other, it's that one is much more capable of getting out of control than the other.
