Why Didn't Justine Just Abort?
Mira:
--- Quote ---I mean, seriously. I would never ask anyone who said they were pregnant if they were considering an abortion... talk about an extremely out of line question. If they bring it up, sure, then it's open to discussion within the context that it is brought up.

Even if it meant certain death for the mother? Under normal circumstances you wouldn't ask that.. But we are talking the exception here, the life of the mother.

It's not certain, even here. Just high risk.
Justine, recall, essentially has extra soul- it's the base of her relationship with Thomas.
TrueMonk:
I think bringing up abortion is an easy way to be sure you never have to talk together again, no matter the circumstances.
I think the real world equivalent of this dilemma is almost exactly the same thing and I cannot see bringing up abortion as ever ending well for anyone outside of the relationship, except a purely professional relation (e.g. the doctor).
The fact they they will most likely never ever get another kid is not making the subject any less touchy.

First of all, Harry isn't demanding anything. And yeah, if Justine dies Thomas will never get another kid. If knowing how much Thomas loves Justine, and his own concern for Justine, who apparently is almost certain to die here, first Harry would ask, is there any way to prevent the Hunger from feeding on her to the point where she will die giving birth? If the answer is no, then he might say there is a choice... For Justine it might be out of the question, she is willing to risk it.. For Thomas, Justine might be more important than the baby.. Bringing up the subject in this case shouldn't end any relationship Harry and Thomas have. It isn't out of the question that Thomas and Justine talked about it and decided, what ever they decided, it their decision.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Your kind of forgetting that Harry has been in Justine’s position, he delivered his child whole and healthy.
