The mirror flip was most obvious to me because of the slant of the yellow italics. The swashes also looked wrong, but it might have taken me longer.
I think I share your squeamish feeling here, but thinking of it practically - I think our victory condition should have a component of "early is better than late", and if an abortion is as easy and acceptable as a trip to the hair salon, and is advertised with ads that suggest to me "stay young and fresh and pretty [not large and awkward]" then that seems more plausible. (I don't know if there's anything in the ad that suggests that they cater to late term - it does have to be a much more surgical procedure than early).
And sure, perhaps people should not treat abortion like a trip to the hair salon - but what are the alternatives? If you don't want to have kids, how much angst and soul-searching must I require of you before I approve of your choice? Can the angst be done before you get pregnant, or does it have to be after?
And...is it better if someone decides to have a kid with all the thought of deciding to have a haircut? Is choosing to be a parent lightly an improvement?
