You can't. Parental permission required for minors to marry.

especially when she and her unborn child are in great danger.we also need some legal advice on how we can go about getting her out of that enviroment

If the minor is being abused, call CPS

she has a place to go and she would and will be completely safe there.

Google "harboring a runaway"
Would this "place to go" be at the home of the one who got her pregnant?

Then you've got a problem because you CANNOT get married, pregnant or not, while you are still a minor unless you have your parents' consent, and in some parts of Ohio the permission of the court as well. That's, as well, not, instead of.
