it is clearly inconsistent with your earlier statements about selective abortion
Ouch, truth.
On the other hand, there’s a difference between discriminating and discriminatory, indiscriminate and nondiscriminatory. (No less ambiguous terms immediately occur to me, and I was not strict with this usage in the grandparent.) I don’t particularly object to discriminating against serial killers, for example.
But the perverse-incentive argument holds in full force. Perhaps I should edit the grandparent so people don’t keep trying to re-dissuade me of something I’ve already disclaimed?
