Well considering the pain and life-altering bodily changes a woman goes through in the course of pregnancy and giving birth, I think it's easy to see the logic. That said, I disapprove strongly of abortion in 99% of circumstances. And the only reason you have given is you don't want to accept the consequences of your own actions which is, frankly, quite selfish. And as for you resenting her for messing with your life plans if she has the baby, consider how much she will resent you if you talk her into aborting the pregnancy when she wanted the child to be born. That could easily be a wound that will never heal.
Two things to consider is that for one, it IS possible to care for a family (what you would basically be doing) while studying. It takes a lot of work and focus but you can do it. Contrary to popular belief, a pregancy doesn't ruin your life outright. Second, have you two considered private adoption? If neither of you are really ready to raise a child in your minds but she doesn't want an abortion, you can privately arange for adoption of the child.
