Well, whatever your boyfriend's opinion is, you need to do what you feel is right for you. You've taken this first step by deciding that keeping the baby is right for you, despite his asking you to get an abortion.
Right now the main focus is not you or your boyfriend - it's your baby. You'll want to make an appointment to see your doctor as soon as possible. You will need to get info on nutrition, fetal development, pregnancy, and set dates for other appointments. This is the first step to ensuring your baby will have a good, strong pregnancy. (And note: if you drink, stop drinking alcohol now!)
As for the other side of things - your boyfriend has a legal obligation to help support your child. If he is in jail, he may not be able to offer much money, but it is important to legally put him down as the father and receive at least nominal child support - this is far easier than trying to get it down the road.
It does not sound as if your boyfriend wants an active part in the baby's life, which will have a big impact on your relationship. The two of you need to have a serious discussion, hopefully before he goes to jail, about the future and what both of you want for it. It's important to be clear for yourselves and for your unborn child.
You may end up being a single mother, which is tough at any age. Get support from local young parents' groups, your family, and friends - or wherever else you feel comfortable receiving support.
I wish you the very best of luck.
