Had a friend who was deterimined to become a doctor. She aborted her first child during her second year in med school. The day she graduated, she was literally sick to her stomach. Suddenly all her hard work and high achievements didn't mean a thing to her. She knew what she had done to get her where she was and wished she could've taken it back. She actually wanted her child, not her degree. (Which she realized she still could've received but not just as soon.)
As with your husband, biologically, the child is half his. Just to warn you, he may no longer trust or look at you in the same light if you go through with it. Hate to be a deal breaker, but many marriages (and relationships in general) end after abortion.
As for the graphic details... It wouldn't be a bad idea to know exactly what you are getting into before you do it. (Even if that includes seeing what will be done to yourself and child during the procedure.) It's a lot easier to empower yourself now so you can make a well informed decision than to shy away from it, run and have the abortion, then be horrified later with the truth when you can not go back and change things. Abortion is final, done deal.
My daughter's alive today because I did that, and after getting to know her, I'm now willing to die for her and can't even believe I thought abortion was an option for either of us. I was just scared and felt trapped.
I have a best friend who's experienced two abortions and she would give anything to have her kids back. There is not a day she is not reminded of her past abortions.
Besides 30yrs from now, your job and education are not going to be taking care of you, but your grown up kids will be.
You are a strong woman. Nothing says you can't achieve your dreams and be a mother at the same time. You already have one child, will a second really set you back? Besides, a sibling is the best gift you could ever give him. When you and your husband are gone, they will only have each other.
Peace.
