Because in countries where this is a problem it's common to have extreme restrictions on use of ultrasound machines. For example requiring two doctors to be present to use it and banning gender identification uses.
If this device is cheap/small enough that illegal clinics could have it, it would make gender identification much more widely available then it is now.
Selective abortion can be dangerous population-wise because even a small gender skew can be hugely problematic.

You know another problem with legalized abortions? Women that sell them in exchange of suing for child support.
