In another study that Professor O'Keane did about the prevalence of rates of antenatal depression in the Irish obstetric service - it has a very long title but she knows the one I mean - she found that one in six pregnant women was depressed, which seems to be a higher rate than in other countries in the OECD. The depression got worse as the pregnancy advanced by trimester and depression was higher among poorer women with less support, issues of domestic violence and also among younger women. Does that suggest to Professor O'Keane that the stress of being pregnant is exacerbated by the illegality of abortion in Ireland?
