text: I do not know, but that is a very sick reason for an abortion.  Though, I guess it might depend on the country you are talking about because in many Asian countries, females are looked down upon by society, and though they deny the practice, are still often "accidentally" killed in backwater regions of the country.  If it was simply because she wanted a boy, then this woman has some very serious issues and is quite selfish to take the life of an unborn child just because it is female.
