Also if that unborn child has value when he or she is healthy even when the mother wants it killed for being the wrong sex then how can consider an unhealthy child to be of no value? We don't treat the sick like that on this side of the womb.

They are doing it because they value the life of the child and don't want to see someones life be marred by misery and the knowledge that their fate is one worse than death.
And if a woman wants a boy but is having a girl - is that the type of person you want as a mother anyway? In my experiences, which are limited I admit, I have never heard of someone getting an abortion because they want a child of another gender. Not once. Even if that was the case though - I do believe that the woman has the right to decide that for herself.
If someone doesn't want a child - they shouldn't have children.
