She is afraid to get pregnant because she has the knowledge that her body has a 50/50 chance of "killing" the baby. She doesn't want to live with the guilt. So she is afraid to give it that one try.
Different situation, but same concept.

I think your friend's concerns are misplaced. The MAP is the intentional halt of life that is forming. Your friend's only intention would be the creation and protection of life. She is not choosing what her body does once it becomes pregnant, unlike a woman who chooses to take the MAP.
