if a person can be charged with murder of an unborn fetus, if a mother can be charged with child endangerment while pregnant, then yes....that fetus has rights and tampering with sex is unethical.

It depends on the state/country, and the stage of development.
Some religions believe live begins at conceptions. Some religions believe life begins when the baby takes its first breath. Some have a more esoteric determination of life when the soul enters, at various points along the process depending upon the religion.
Since the law does not usually chose which religious definition is the correct one, the legal line is drawn based on medical determinations. And the medical determination most normally used is the point of viability, when the unborn can survive on its own independent of the mother. That is the point where legal rights generally attach.

It's still a living, breathing human being with feelings, and should be treated as such.
If the gender is that big of an issue, try adoption; since there's many couples out there unable to conceive and looking to adopt.
The link below shows different stages and sizes of the baby as the pregnancy progresses.

Well it depends on what the mother believes. if within her religion it's ok then she may follow through. It also depends on the state, country, and the trimester that the fetous is in.

it's right to free speech
and the right to bear arms
need not be protected for
obvious reasons.
if abortion remains legal every
abortion should be matched with
an execution of a murder, rapist or
unlawful combatant.

Such treatment is up to the female herself, as she is the sovereign of her own body, and no one can force her to support a child that she doesn't want. A child that no one wants...

i think they are human because it is union of sperm and egg=zygote=life...life=human and every human has a right. also the fetus is very fragile because it cannot defend himself so the law must protect them (also society, state, government etc)
