18. I would have to tell them that if they are doing it for the right reason
then it is okay. They need to feel comfortable in making that decision. I would support them if they had a child and I would support them if they had an abortion. Or took precautions to prevent a pregnancy to even occur until they are ready. I would also tell them that it is neither right or wrong what they do and not allow others to judge them for doing what they believe is best for them. It is their body and their life.

Now if the person in question is much younger than I would make sure they know the consequences either way. Feeling guilty about having the abortion and guilt that others will put on them. Or going through with it and having 9 months of pregnancy and how long for feeding, changing diapers, late nites, less time to enjoy young life, etc. And if they do have the child not to expect me to be on call 100% of my time. But will help out when reasonable.

To start out I guess I would also ask what choices they are considering.

About the only time I would be upset would be if the person has too many kids and they are only interested in procreating without considering how it will effect the other children.
