I think the point they were making is that 'girl gets pregnant, girl gets abortion' is going to be a rather shorter story than 'girl gets pregnant, girl has to deal with the consequences for the rest of her life'. Not to mention that the potential for light humour and romance is more limited. Of course you could still make a pretty good story about it, but it's a much harder topic to deal with.
