Uh...Mary was married to Joseph, the carpenter.
Not at the time of the conception and not at the time Joseph was wondering if he should put her away quietly.
They were betrothed.
Well, Mary wasn’t married to Joseph at the time that her pregnancy was detected. And the father was unknown at that moment. But I’d say Joseph did the right thing...
Mary, unwed mother of Jesus, did not abort the baby.

Not when she became pregnant. She was espoused to Joseph (engaged) at the time. Yet Joseph - despite what would be considered the "norm" for the time - to put her off and publicly ridicule her, chose to go through with it and take her as his wife and to raise the Babe as his own.
