How is love portrayed in this short story? How is it relevant to readers in modern times?

In this short story, love is portrayed as a risky endeavor, fraught with difficult decisions. In the story, the tension between the couple is palpable.
There is every indication that the man wants his girlfriend to have an abortion. He tells her that it is an "awfully simple operation" and that he has "known lots of people that have done it." The girl, Jig, is not so sure. She questions whether having an abortion will put their relationship back on track. Her companion, however, is focused on what he sees as a "problem": the baby he does not want to have. He repeats his assertion that the operation is a simple one, consistently invalidating the significance of such an operation for his girlfriend.
The strained exchange between the couple highlights the discrepancies between male and female interpretations of love. The story is certainly relevant to modern-day romances. Hemingway's portrait of a relationship in crisis invites us to ponder the true consequences of an abortion on a couple's relationship.  
Hemingway's story poses a very modern question: when a man and a woman differ about how they will address an unwanted pregnancy, what is the right course of action to take? In the story, the man embodies all the traits of Hemingway's quintessential male characters. Hemingway's man is focused on the present; he enjoys sexual escapades and wild, hedonistic nights of pleasure. However, he often miscalculates the consequences of his actions.
Likewise, the male character in "Hills Like White Elephants" not only fails to consider the effects of an abortion on his girlfriend, he also fails to consider how an abortion will impact their lives. Does Jig have an abortion in the story? Hemingway never tells us. However, an important question remains: is abortion always the right answer? The debate rages in our modern world, with both pro-choice and pro-life groups deeply opposed to each other's positions.
