Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
I met a man, we started seeing each other. In our first intimate encounter he forced me to have unprotected sex without my consent. I got pregnant. Now he laughs that it is my problem and nobody can make him responsible. I don't want to keep the pregnancy. What legally can I do in that case? Can I get compensation for moral and physical suffering?

You asked and received answers. You are also posting under the category of criminal law, and the issues there is pretty clear. Either try to pursue rape charges, or not. If you have questions other than under criminal law, you need to post under the appropriate category.
What can you legally do if you do not want to keep the pregnancy? That question answers itself. Can you get compensation for moral suffering? What is moral suffering? IS moral suffering where you begin to be intimae with a person, change your mind, the person continues, and you have regrets about the foreplay? Can you get compensation for physical suffering? Do you mean from the rape? Why are you not talking about him going to prison for life? Interesting. Good luck.
You have been raped, which means you can press charges. He could spend decades, if not life, in prison. When you press charges, he likely will not be laughing. Good luck.
