A Generation of Girls Is Missing in India: Sex-Selective Abortions Fuels Patriarchy and Abuse

Not really. The article itself mentions all the female children that die of neglect to their gender.

Taking away sex-specific abortion may minimize some of the sexism in the culture, but taking away all abortion access limits health and life choices of women.

Abortion as a tool, like any tool, can be useful for good or bad. Coercing a woman into having an abortion for any reason is wrong. Preventing her from accessing safe abortion is wrong. Even the article doesn’t advocate for banning abortion, and argues that the best way to combat gender-specific abortion is by changing the culture to value women. Outlawing ultrasounds to identify the sex of the fetus is usually ineffective, and forcing women to have children that will not be cared for, especially in abusive relationships, is often harmful to those individual women.
