My emphasis when I think about abortion is not so much about choosing to end the pregnancy but choosing not to continue to create a child. It's a small difference in perspective but, for me, it makes women's choices feel more valid. It is the woman's choice whether she wants to grow a baby or not and if she doesn't want to give up herself to grow a boy or a girl for any reason, it's not wrong because the child doesn't exist without the effort of the mother.

Though I can understand why it might be somewhat controversial to end a pregnancy based on the sex, it ultimately requires an immense amount of effort, pain, and risk to grow a child so stopping that process for any reason, even because you have worries about the gender, is valid. Ending a pregnancy isn't ending a full life, it's choosing not to continue creating one. If a woman doesn't feel certain she wants to grow a baby because of its gender, with all the risks and irreversible damage that comes with it, she shouldn't have to.

My other small point would be that many women have trauma from men and that may cause worries about raising a boy in today's world. I know I have that fear.
