I realise that abortion is still illegal in Ireland but due to the religious residual that still plagues the country, not for any reasons regarding human rights matters. Sexual protection isn't taught nor encouraged in education either so it's still a Catholic dogfight over there. I'm bearing this in mind.

Also Dave, you said you're opposed to depression and that it is simply a state of wallowing or self-pity. That was completely false hence why I explained the difference between depression and pitying oneself.

Taking into account the hypothetical upbringing of the child of an unwanted pregnancy isn't a cop-out, it's far less shortsighted that what you are proposing. You're making it sound as if adoption is a simple procedure but it isn't. There are so many abandoned children in the world stuck in orphanages and fostering homes, I believe that adopting a child is probably a more proficient action to take over conceiving a child yet on top of that, I believe abortion is a more proficient action to take over an adoption scenario regarding an unwanted pregnancy.

I think you have a lot of bias and a distinct lack of empathy. My philosophy is that we think about the rights of the conscious individual first and foremost alongside the potential sociological factors a child may be affected by in a life that has orphanhood as its foundation.
