Do women ever get abortions because the baby is the wrong gender? one abortionist recounts a story:
“In one case, a woman who was in her late thirties, well educated, and a professional person with healthy children requested an abortion for the reason that the fetus was male…The fetus was normal but it was male…
Even though I had begun by being totally opposed to an abortion for this reason, she persuaded me that, in her mind, abortion was the only choice she could accept for this pregnancy for her own mental health as well as the welfare of her family.
The lesson from this anecdote is that we, as abortion-service providers, cannot place moral judgments on the motives or actions of out patients.”
Warren Hern Abortion Practice (Philadelphia: J Lippincott, 1990) Chapter 3, Pg 85
