I'm on the fence on this issue, and would just like to expand on the discussion: Would it be moral to abort a fetus simply because of the sex of the fetus? For example, if a mother doesn't want to give birth to a girl.

If it's early, I think it should be allowed. Enough people do not care about the gender that I feel this would happen only rarely.
It happens...which is a great idea, everyone should do it, and see how much violence and murder ends up in a world where men vastly outnumber women :|
your body. you do whatever you want.
The answer is in two parts.
What you are probably really asking is it ok spiritually speaking to abort a child any given reason (from rape, to they won't have green eyes). Many mothers to be, talk of a sense of connection with the child growing within them. This connection, how far does it go? Was there an exchange, an agreement, that the child made with the mother to come into this world and be her child? If there is this connection, then to sever that connection is a huge choice. But, if it is only a pile of cells, a blood sucking leach, then the decision is only a matter of aesthetics. Which is morally right is hacked out by the community at that time. Which side is correct? Only really getting in touch with your intuition will tell you.
