Why women have a right to sex-selective abortion | Sarah Ditum | Comment is free | theguardian.com
The answer is actually remarkably simple, and it's this: it doesn't matter whether what's growing inside you is liable to end up as a man or a woman. What matters is whether the person it's growing inside – the person who is going to have to deliver the resulting baby, at not inconsiderable personal peril – actually wants to be pregnant and give birth to this child. In a world where it's possible to end a pregnancy safely and legally, it seems like rank brutality to force anyone to carry to term against her will.
And there you have it.

And there you do have it. Their entire argument. Me, me, me, me, me, me, me.
I like "what's growing inside you is liable to end up as a man or a woman." How distanced.
