Blimey Nora. Somehow, I don't think there was an equivalent advert in Playboy questioning men's fatherhood skills. Despite the wider range of men's magazines available nowadays, there still aren't, but women are still fed a good spoonful of guilt in adverts aimed at them. Why do we put up with it?

See? Only BABIES use sanitary pads! Anyone else feel like they're being talked to like a toddler?

Oh dear. Obviously, I hope things worked out for these two girls, but it makes your heart sink to see Mary come up trumps again with her judgmental language. What makes her think that either of these two girls will EVER put themselves in such a position again, given the trauma that they're suffering? This is before the legalisation of abortion in Britain (excluding Northern Ireland), which happened in 1967, so if either of them were pregnant, their options were to bring up the child themselves (or have their parents go through the charade of pretending it was a sibling), have the child adopted, or to have a dangerous illegal abortion.
