    Don’t they already do this?

    I’ve definitely seen one that was 2 pictures. 1 a couple, obviously hoping for a positive. The other a lone teen/20s girl, obviously hoping for a negative. The caption was along other lines of “Here’s hoping for the result you want.”

      Eh, that still kind of fits the narrative of “she should be a baby incubator but she should’ve waited til marriage so the man will support her”

        More that a couple in a committed relationship can choose to become parents. It’s an unfortunate fact of biology that it must be the woman involved carrying the baby.

            True, but trying to fit that in an advert will never work. Stereotypes exist for a reason, they are a quick and dirty way of transmitting a lot of background information (for better or for worse).
