thought of the day 2009 11 25 - abort!

Let's say that you have this fried, we'll call him Nick, and this friend is married and trying to have a baby. In fact he and his wife have been planning for a kid for months. Then Nick lost his job and they can't really afford to have a kid right now. Is it awkward if you happen to use the phrase "abort the baby" even if all I meant was they shouldn't be planning anything until they've got medical insurance again.
