Do not use her mom as an excuse to abort the baby. You haven't even tell her yet, why made you two so sure that she would freak out, have a stroke and die? Maybe in the other way round, she would be happy that she'll finally have a grandchild.
One of my friend has a very strict mom too. Although she's an adult, she still has to follow a curfew given by her mom which is to reach home before 9pm whenever she goes out. But as they say, the more you are stricted to do something, the more problems you'll create.
She was also accidentally pregnant and was scared to let her mom know too. Because she thought that her mom will kick her out or slap her or hit her if she knew that her daughter is pregnant with the bf that she only knew for around 4 months. :/
But in the end, both of them took the courage and tell her mom that she's going to be a grandma soon. And guess what is her mother's reaction?
Confused at first but the day after that, she treated her daughter extra good knowing that she's pregnant. 2-3 days after that, she was so excited that she's going to be a grandmother soon.
Don't be a coward.
Take this as a double happiness (Seong hei lam mun)
Furthermore, by doing abortion your gf is at risk of not conceiving at all in the future. Would you want to take this risk?
When that happen, what are you going to tell her mom then?
"Auntie, your daughter cannot conceive because last time she had done abortion before"
That's way worst!
Since you said that you and your family are ready for the marriage, then discourage her from the thoughts of abortion and encourage her to face her mom instead. Be there for her when she breaks the good news to her mom and face whatever that needs to be face together with her.
Good luck.

Have yourself a baby first before telling people how hard it is going to be a parents. WTF! Furthermore, TS and his gf are not young kiddos anymore, they are adults for God's sake!
My and husband only earn peanuts with salary less than RM5K when both our salaries are added together. But we are able to rent and stay on our own, give my mom monthly RM1K allowance and take good care of the baby. I even gave birth in a private hospital although we don't have any savings left after our wedding.
When there's a will there's a way.
WHY DON'T YOU THINK OF HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY AND HAVE YOUR FINANCIAL SECURED INSTEAD OF WASTING YOUR TIME THINKING ABOUT HOW TO GET RID OF THE BABY?hawk you got something else to said about this, people that are married and have kids, and they seems to be immature to you
