 In the Pre-Islamic era they used to bury their female offspring after birth; today you are thinking of aborting your female offspring before birth. It is one and same thing - a murder.

I decided to address the second part of your question (wishing to have a boy) separately, for your consumption and for the benefit of all. I'd like to draw your attention to Surah Ash-Shura', ayah 49-50 which is translated to read, '---He bestoweth sons to whom He will and He bestoweth daughters to whom He will; Or He mingles sons and daughters to whom He will, and He maketh baron whom He will. Lo! He is Knower, Powerful.'   The above ayah leaves no doubt that it is Allah alone who decides the progeny, factly speaking, it all stands decided even for those who are yet not born (till the day of Qiyamah). All one can do is to pray to Allah and then be content with whatever He decides for you.    At the same time my advise to every one is to learn Quran (and sunnah), for in this lies the peace of mind and solace for hearts.

Killing a baby- born or unborn- after Allah has breathed a soul into it, is a sin. Indulging in such an act against our religion and against humanity. Babies aren't rag dolls that you can choose which one to play with and throw away the one you don't like.

I think if you did this you would no longer be a muslim - not sure. It is the gravest sin you can commit, possibly. Read Quran and you will see - the female child will be asked for what sin she was killed. This is a very serious matter.

You cant wish for boy, it is Allah that gives boy or girl, and abortion is taking life, you can just ask Allah to grant you a baby boy, you want to kill the girl in order for boy? that should not happen, Allah does whatever he wants

Sister,Remember,Once a time you also was a daughter of Some-one..

Also Sister,have a look in this Poem..

"Diary of a Baby"

15 June: I got attached with ovary.

17 June: I'm a tissue now.

30 June: Mom said to dad,"You're going to be a father"

Mom and Dad Are Very Happy.

15 July: My food is what my mom eats.

15 Sept:I can feel my heartbeat.

14 Oct:I have little hands,legs, head and a stomach.

13 Nov: Today I was in an ultrascan.

Wow! I m a girl.

14 Nov: I was Dead!

My mom and dad killed me.. . Why? Is it just because I was a girl? People love to have A Mother, A Wife,then Why Not a Daughter??

That is a great SIN as is up to Allah to give you a daughter or a son.You should be grateful for what HE gives you.

Sister,firstly Sex determination is Haram...... Also,Prophet Muhammad {P.b.u.h} Said: Dont Hate Daughters as i am also the father of four daughters.. I had Also listened that When Allah {S.w.t} is happy with the people,then he sends Rain and when Allah {S.w.t} is much happy,then he Sends Daughters.. And you say that You would Abort Your Daughter as you already have One Daughter..

. . . it depends where you live. In Spain, New Zealand, Japan and elsewhere it is quite reasonable to have an early term abortion if you think it will help you with your own options and material and mental health later in life. When you believe you truly want children then have them, although abortion is always a difficult issue for an intelligent woman. Ultimately there are different laws concerning abortion in different countries, as I said. Do whatever is best for you but try and make an educated decision.

abortion is an unpleasant and stressful experience, although notice that in the country of Romania, it was once outlawed and infact when abortion was legalized crime levels dropped considerably over the next two decades. The same example can be made for gun crime in the poorer Harlem, Bronx areas in America.

In the following countries, abortion is available

Burundi, Comoros, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Rwanda, Seychelles, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Cameroon, Chad, Equatorial Guinea,Algeria, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Swaziland, Benin, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Togo, Japan, South Korea, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Laos, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Georgia, Turkey, Finland, Iceland, United Kingdom, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Montenegro, Portugal, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Bahamas, Barbados, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Guyana, Canada, USA, New Zealand, Australia, Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Nauru, Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa.

In these countries abortion is either available upon request or if there are health complications or other issue arising for the welfare of the offspring.

Ultimately, it should not be a government, family, religious or national issue, but a decision for the women concerned. That is all I have to comment on this topic.
