you are not comparing like scenarios:

A1: woman is pregnant, wants to grow the baby, continues with pregnancy

A2: woman is pregnant doesn't want baby, aborts

B1: woman is pregnant, doesn't want to grow the baby, forced to continue pregnancy against her will

B2: woman is pregnant does want baby, forced to abort against her will

My perspective is that scenarios A are fine, scenarios B (which includes the forced abortions in China and India for example) are not.

Your perspective seems to be a version of "every sperm is sacred", ie "every male fetus is sacred", and you are upset about the fact of a tiny handful of women merely speculating about aborting an unwanted male embryo (which is vanishingly rare to non-existent in practice, and in reality any woman really yearning for a child but completely unable to raise a male (again tiny tiny minorty) would likely avoid pregnancy altogether and foster or adopt a girl instead).
