My parents told me Im going to have abortion!!!?

Ok im 17 and i just found out im pregnant. I have been with the daddy(Richie) for almost 9 months. My parents grounded me and everything. The reason why they don't want me to have this baby is cause Richies dad is a low life and stole money for my dad and see my dad and Richies dad were friends back in the day and my dad knows how his dad is. I dont understand why they think Richie is the same way my parents have never met Richie. I dont understand why they are putting me down like this. Can they make me have abortion? What can I do to get out of this hell hole? I need help do you think if i meet or talk to a cop or a lawyer or something and they can help me get out and live on my own? I really need some good advice right now. They wont even let me talk to Richie nor see him PLEASE HELP im seriously very stressed out, down and depressed. Richie didnt do anything wrong he is a very good guy,you think that is right to judge him cause of his dad he hardly even talks nor see him?
