The mother must bear a large portion of the blame, but the pressure to abort from parents, boyfriends, and other so-called friends must be nearly overwhelming. What does a scared 15 year-old do if her parents threaten to disown her, or her boyfriend threatens violence, or her so-called friends tell her en masse that she's an idiot for going through with her pregnancy (and she isn't lucky enough to have called a true crisis pregnancy center first instead of an abortion factory)?

thousands of fathers of babies aborted by underage girls go scot-free every year ... they have committed statutory rape, and in most of those cases coerced the underage women into having abortions to literally bury the evidence. Boyfriends coerce their girlfriends into getting abortions

What portion of the blame would you assign to the mothers expressed as a percentage?

I didn't say it would be easy. but its a conscious decision to abort or not to abort. Its not like all these influences are at you at the same time. you can get help today. more than at any other time in history.
