"Hills Like White Elephants"

In Ernest Hemingway's short story, Hills Like White Elephants, the conversation is between a man who is referred to as the American and Jig, whom I can only assume is his girlfriend (or possibly wife). The beginning half of the conversation, they are talking about trying new drinks and Jig's observation of the scenery - the hills resembling white elephants. There is an abrupt change of subject with the American states, "It's really an awfully simple operation, Jig." It was not until about half-way through this part of the conversation focusing on this operation, that I clearly understood they were talking about an abortion. Jig was obviously worried about the outcome of the operation effecting their relationship, although he continues to assure her they will be just as they were before the pregnancy. I feel like the decision is ultimately being left up to the man since Jig talks about going through with the surgery just to make him happy in an attempt to hold onto their relationship. From the ending of the story, I think she will have the abortion.
