Denver catches the viewer flat-footed by expressing his sympathy, however roughly stated, for Monica's dilemma in her pregnancy in her relationship with her uncaring boss. Denver obviously cares for her baby and for her. Unless this is a message intended for the viewer that Denver is callous and disregards Monica's autonomy, that isn't how I viewed his attempt to influence Monica's decision.
In my view, Denver is obviously a thief and a killer, or at least a thief who has expressed a willingness to kill people. Still, he tries to make a case for allowing the baby to live, and by that action, he's also trying to keep Monica from having the death of her baby on her conscience. The case he makes is that having a child doesn't necessarily mess up your life, but having an abortion just might ruin your view of yourself.
This won't be a popular view with all of the viewers, but it's my view and I'm not trying to make it anyone else's view.
