It doesn't matter. She was 21, not 12. She was her own responsible party. She gambled that she wouldn't get pregnant out of wedlock knowing the consequences if she did. She lost. She had the option of doing whatever it takes to have the baby; or, die trying. Instead, she gambled on having an abortion knowing the risk if she did, She lost. There's an old saying
Don't gamble with what you can't afford to lose.
The measure of a person's character comes when they make choices and when they face adversity. It's easy to be a good person when someone else is providing for you and everything is hunky-dory. The woman lacked willpower and lacked the courage to fight the good fight to recover from mistakes. Unless she was developmentally impaired and/or raped, the onus was equally on her for getting pregnant (it takes two to tango); also, equally on her and the procedure provider for the outcome of having an abortion. Just because life isn't fair doesn't mean that she didn't get what she bargained for each time she chose to gamble.
