Mark, you're doing it again. you're repeating yourself:

As for taxpayers paying for it, it's part a being in a society that takes care of it's own (citizen's health matters to all - ergo the public purse should pay)

Mark, you're repeating yourself. Adoption is an option, but for a woman who is not capable, mentally, physically, emotionally, socially or economically to have a child what makes you think going through 9 months of carrying a child, dealing with all the changes both inside and outside, the burden of pre-natal care and finally the risks and costs of childbirth are any easier?

The child had a chance at life. And the 9 months with be a hell of a lot easer versis a whole lifetime of regreat, loss, suffering by the woman. Most private adoption will support the mother during this time. Tthere are other choices. Most women live to regret ever having abortion, something that years of therapy can't ever cure.
Society shouldn't have to fund the misjudgement of others, I think the father should always pay. We seem to live in a society where we are not accountable for our actions.

And abandoning a full term child at an orphanage, where they may or may not be adopted is any easier on the woman? You seem to think that all children are adopted. If that were the case, why are so many children in state homes, orphanages or out and out abandoned on the street?
Because most people who want children want their own, not someone elses.

How do you know? Most women have regrets, many have regrets but know they made the right decision for themselves. Not every woman who has an abortion lives a horrible life of regret and needs therapy. These are just stories intended to scare women from having abortions. Most of the women I know who had abortions are now married, and have children.

Then the unwanted children will be abandoned on the street. This is what usually happens when a parent cannot afford to raise a child and the state will not take them. Take a look at Catholic countries to our south where abortion is strictly outlawed and the state has little money to pay for expensive upkeep of unwanted children. There are many abandoned children in the streets.
