Its entirely her fault and not at all his that he decided to be irresponsible and not wrap it up.

She was on the pill, AND they add an agreement to abort if a pregnancy happened. This IS entirely her fault. If she hadn't [censored] changed her mind and gone back on their agreement, this wouldn't have ever happened.

LOL. Pretty sure any legal attempt to argue that there was an agreement or verbal contract would get laughed out of the room. I don't see an offer, acceptance, or consideration and what proof of this so-called "agreement" is there except the OP's word? He could very well have been exaggerating in his panic attack.

If the point of the discussion is to see what would hold up in court, this may have some merit. If the point of the discussion is about how much responsibility OP should have in this situation - and given the various "slimeball" comments getting thrown around this thread, I think that's the real discussion - I think the girl reneging on something like that is hugely significant, and whether you can "prove it" or not to a court doesn't really change the moral issue.
She gets to make all the choices (nobody responded to my gender-reversed hypothetical, but I can't imagine many people telling the woman that because the guy changed his mind and wanted the baby that she could no longer abort it if that was still her wish); doesn't that mean she should accrue more of the responsibility as well?
I have no idea what I would have done in OP's situation. In that situation now, I'd definitely accept her decision, but there are a lot of things that are different. I'm older, and my girlfriend has explicitly told me that if she were to get pregnant now she would probably want the baby, which really makes things vastly different, in my opinion.
