Oh...and the bit I forgot...21 years ago her parents were supposedly 'forced' to get married when her mother discovered she herself was pregnant.  They have since split up.  This is where the 'orders' are coming from...

Thou shalt not do what we did...thy life will be the same as ours...

Don't get me wrong I don't think parents or anybody else should decide for her but this phrase is true. She needs to decide and take responsibilities about child for ever and not call for her parents or anybody else to help once she gat tired of being a mum. It's even more hopeless when future mum is a manor...
 I keep telling my children not to do what we did OR if they do they MUST expect to have life very similar to ours (parents). Somehow they (children generally) keep doing same things as their parents and they stupidly expect different outcome. I am not psychologist but it's a common thing that children step in to the same "footprints" like their parents even if they know how hurt they were.
And one thing is for sure (no matter how bad they may be) parents (usually) love their children and do not want them to make same mistake and suffer same way but the whole thing is hopeless...children tend to experience everything personally...
And having a child is FOR LIFE. Most of the young people do not understand this...when life comes to bit them they would rather run from responsibility. I am appalled how many children here were raised in foster homes.
Ah this children - parents story is a long story...
About abortion generally we in communist countries were free to have them in hospitals for very little money. If minor,  girl needed a consent of parents. I don't think that girl could be forced by parents to do it, on the other hand. Largely it was a contraceptive at the time cause not many woman (especially not educated) were using pills and condom was not so popular pre- HIV-AIDS.
Now when I think about it it wasn't right too. I think I am for some kind of "middle solution"...and yes sexual education FIRST and most important...
