I'd tell her it's morally wrong.

And its not morally wrong to force someone to carry to term a pregnancy caused by something as horrific as rape? That doesn't bother you at all?

Who is forcing her? Her pregnancy is the natural state of things. Abortion is the abnormality.

I probably wouldn't make any argument about her ending a pregnancy, but the absence of abortion is not "forcing" anyone to do anything.

Where did I say 'force'?

I think it is clear that my position is to let her conscience be her guide.
