The pregnancy issue cannot really go behind ongoing issues because of its timing. Mental health counseling is usually a minimum of 2-1/2 to 3 months in length and can go on for years, depending on what you wish to accomplish. Whether or not to get an abortion and then getting it is indeed the order things need to be done. However, counseling about whether or not to get an abortion does not really fall into "mental health care" and I think your home physician felt way out of his depth which is why he suggested you go back to your school physician who knows you better at this time and work with him. If you know you want an abortion, have no doubts, etc. then you would just go to a doctor wherever you wish and get an abortion as the law allows, etc. But given the difficulties you are having, I would work with your term-time doctor to get this time sensitive issue resolved and then decide the next thing you wish to work on, whether your other uni issues, how to raise a child, or other ongoing issues.
