>>97333641Well, put it this way: imagine a black and white couple (or any mix race really) in the 60s US trying to "Fight the Man" by consummating their relationship only to realize once reality hits that "Oh shit, a mixed baby in these times is gonna suck!"
Admittedly, in this case it's a bit more fantastical since obviously they are two different sized species and a birth for Judy could seriously lead to severe health risks, but even that aside I wanna say that the comic is trying to show both as being correct.
Nick grew up without a father figure so of course he probably feels hurt being forced to "abandon" his child and his chance at breaking a cycle of neglect. He probably also feels that Judy doesn't see him as a serious partner since by denying the baby a chance, she shows potentially no interest in having a real future with him (she says "later once her career has plateaued but that just makes her sound cold).
Judy has always been career focused and wants to be successful having pushed herself out of a small town and into the limelight of the big city. If the pregnancy goes sour, she loses on everything she has built up over her life and even endangers her health.
In short, Judy IS right, but she presented it very coldly and Nick was obviously hurt since he was very emotional about the news as is.
tl;dr: She should have aborted without telling Nick since it would have hurt him anyway.
