Medical abortions are expensive, and home abortions are dangerous. It's much safer to carry the female infant to term, and kill her after birth, or abandon/neglect her and let nature take its course.

The problem has been exacerbated in recent years because of limitations on how many children couples could have, but a lack of financial resources could also place pressures on people to have fewer children, and make as many boys as possible. But this is certainly not "just" a modern problem created by modern abortion technology.
