Why Didn't Justine Just Abort?

Oh yeah it's not directly parallel.
I think it might still be emotionally relevant, though (in the sense that it all worked out and Harry now, looking back on it, wouldn't want Bonea not to have been born).

Exactly, Harry’s opinion as a mother is valid in this context, as a father not so much.

Justine, recall, essentially has extra soul- it's the base of her relationship with Thomas.

Now that is an interesting thought. But does she still have extra after nearly dying in BR?
I also wonder if Justine's on-and-off True Love protection will alter the parameters.
Conspiracy Theorist:
Souls regenerate if given time and opportunity like spending time with loved ones. The domestic bliss shown in Thomas’s Apartment shows that this is likely. Indeed it may have been what triggered the pregnancy.

At best, Harry was a surrogate vessel for Bonea's development. It was subconscious Harry or his Id that was the father, I'm willing to bet that conscious Harry wouldn't have wanted anything to do with fathering a child with Lash. So again, not close.

I am not sure this has much to do with the true love protection as far as the White Court goes. We've had this debate before and apparently rape can destroy it, or a one night stand can destroy it. It seemingly is all about the sex act itself and nothing to do with "true love feelings." One in a moment of weakness or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, can have a one night stand, but still truly love someone else, so even though your still feel true love, your protection is gone. It isn't about soul regeneration, Thomas and Justine still love one another truly, she lost her protection from his touch because she has what was for her merely physical pleasure sex with another.
