If we reach the same 165,000 mph that one probe reached by slingshotting by Jupiter, I think it'll take about 160,000 years or so.

Edit: if we use Voyager 1's solar system escape velocity of 38,000 provided by /u/silpion its more like 700,000 years. That's about 23,000 human generations. It's also a bit longer than how old the first signs of Neanderthals are.

I never really get to see what a pit stop is like in the Isle of Man TT on television; how long do they take and what all is done to the bike?

It is, of course, her choice. It is also a choice of aborting and potentially burdening herself with guilt or birthing and potentially burdening herself, the child and others with complications and problems associated. There is also the plus of birthing giving the possibility of great joy and fond memories whereas aborting typically offers no such thing other than a possible sense of relief. If there's a chance of a decent life for the child without excessive burden on others I'd say go for it, otherwise abort. That is my opinion.
