Answer :

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
What a shame on you! You refer to the girl as your friend. You sleep with her and make her pregnant. Now you claim she is not for you. What type of friendship is this? If you were sincere and really concerned for her, you would take responsibility for your action and marry her and also take responsibility for the child.
How evil is it is to fulfill your lust with the woman and now question about terminating the pregnancy. Is the “child” more important or your lust? Nevertheless, the girl is also responsible for this evil act. She submitted herself illegally and is now paying the price for that. Both yourself and the girl should make tawba and make the appropriate decision to marry. Abortion in this case is haram and a major sin.
And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
