Depends on the state and the age of the father. Lots of states have laws that give leeway if it's two kids instead of a kid and adult.

Regardless, she should have been able to get an abortion.

This is not true, while in many states there are legal exceptions for relationships between minors and someone within a few years of age, minors are still unable to consent under the law

So, if two 13 year olds have sex, which one is the statutory rapist?

Neither. Neither can legally consent, but neither can be prosecuted either due to exclusions in the law.
