Or she could work together with Rumple and the rest of the “heroes” to find away to make the contract invalid.
All magic comes with a price!
Keeper of FelixThe fact that this even crossed anyone’s mind, given how happy Belle was to know she was having a child for that split second before she knew everything it might mean…
This post makes me very sad.

Yep. Abortions are never an easy choice, so yes it is sad, but in this case it’s either send the baby to hell or prevent it from ever developing.
You can have another child with a sane, non-socio-path who doesn’t fraternize and make deals with demonic forces whilst bringing havoc on innocents and constantly putting you and your family at risk while you claim to “love” him.
obviously, the writers will come up with some way to get her out of this situation but if we’re talking about how someone would/should react in this situation, it makes perfect sense!
Okay, from a Once-verse perspective:
Emma, the DARK ONE, chose to accelerate a 2-month pregnancy to term to avoid harming the child of the woman she intended to murder. It’s clear that in the magical morality system of the show, whether or not it’s the same one you have, and we really REALLY shouldn’t get into that discussion (there is no happy ending in that debate), the baby is considered a person from the moment of conception. That’s why we can have prophecies, deals, visions about them etc.
As my sister said, the going method for getting rid of an unwanted child in this universe is to leave it by the side of the road (or let the Shadow take it/put it up for adoption/send it through a wardrobe…).
Belle is about the last person on the show who would even consider terminating a pregnancy. And LOOK at their faces when Rumple tells her. This is a child that is VERY wanted, by BOTH its parents. Belle isn’t even going to consider killing it, both because of the show’s morality structure and her own character.

Because it’s a Sunday 8pm family shown run by Disney.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Maybe the simple in-story answer is that she wants the child, and that she actually loves Rumple, no matter how misguided the sentiment might appear from the audience’s perspective. Additionally, if you recall the episode, she essentially tells Rumple to go and fix his mess with Hades — which suggests that, for all intents and purposes, Belle actually trusts Rumple to put up an effective resistance to whatever Hades’s plans for the baby might be. Since we’ve seen Rumple literally move heaven and earth for his offspring, I’d say that trust isn’t entirely misplaced.
I think your question conflates two things: Rumple’s viability as a partner/father, and the likelihood of Hades getting the baby. I don’t see the latter as a foregone conclusion.

On OUAT, “bringing havoc on innocents and constantly putting you and your family at risk” seems to be something that every single main character has done at one point or another. This doesn’t seem to hurt their reproductive chances. In that logic, why didn’t Robin and/or Regina force Zelena to terminate the pregnancy? She’s certainly a danger to herself and others.

Yeah, as many lines as this show has crossed, I just can’t see them going the abortion route. Abortion is a very VERY sensitive subject matter, and it continues to be heavily debated to this day.

I’ve seen abortion dealt with on tv shows targeted to children, well, teens, and we’re talking about a show that current takes place in the underworld, filled with affairs and such.
But yes, I agree with MatthewPaul, Disney is probably too afraid to go that route. They will probably save the baby through screenwriting magic. But it is the most logical response.
