Reiterating what everyone else has said--if she's candid about being pregnant and is actually serious about terminating the pregnancy in such a dangerous fashion, I'd suggest telling the school counselor and/or another trusted adult. I sincerely hope that you're not allowing your thoughts/feelings regarding abortion to cloud your judgment here--because if she sincerely feels that getting an abortion is the best option, that's her decision to make (although, as everyone else has said, it's critical that she has a safe one performed). IF she's claiming that she wants to keep it simply because the father is threatening her, you absolutely should tell a trusted adult (after all, what manifested between them is considered statutory rape--and him threatening her is only worsening his case). 
 
I wish you the best of luck in making your decision--and I commend you for caring so much about your friend's well-being.
