It is not permissible to abort the fetus at any stage of its life, and your dislike for your husband is not a justification for that. You should entrust your matter to Allah, and supplicate Him to make your fetus a righteous child; because the supplication of parents is answered. And if a woman dislikes her husband, she has the right to seek khulʿ (divorce at the wife's instance).
