I think all of you are wrong about this. Kay said she had the abortion because this "Sicilian thing" must all end. Mike was looking to build a mafia dynasty like his father had tried to do by producing a bevy of sons. That was the source of his interest inthe baby's sex.
Basically, that is what I said in my post, Mike was looking for another son in hopes of both boys carrying on the family name and business. As far as Kay's comment, that took place later on in New York, during the hearings. But earlier when Mike returns home and is told by Tom that she lost the child, Mike has no idea that it was an abortion, and thinks that she has miscarried. All he is concerned about upon Tom telling him the news is if she had lost a boy!
