Let's simplify this for those more intelligent than I... 
Does a zygote have it's own unique human DNA? Well, it sure as Hades isn't a canine, or a fish, or a plant. To deny that a zygote is NOT an individual human life form is just plain weird. To deny that would require you to prove to me it's something other than human (or that it didn't exist up till your abortion cut-off point)... A zygote is part of the human lifecycle. If you kill the zygote (or fetus), no child will be born and this you are quite aware of. Unlike your masturbating reference, it is unique in DNA and biology. It's gets oxygen and nutrients from it's host, it is not the host...
You know exactly what it(the human lifeform) is and have no problems killing it, but you find sex-selection of a living being that you don't even consider as being human morally wrong. That's what is messed up...
