I'm convinced dreamwidth + my low bandwidth internet connection creates typos and hiatuses in my comments - definitely not my own incompetence! ;-)
I don't recall any specific in depth analysis of Young Gothic. It was more multiple people noting the backstory cliches specific to women that, when encountered often enough, seem prejudicial: sexual abuse as motivation plus, in this case, the abortion aspect.
(Mainland Britain has had stable legal access to abortion for about 55 years now so younger women often don't have to think much about it except encountering unusual negatives that stand out from the usual positive outcomes. Our Parliament are currently voting to make abortion even more legally secure for women so fringe protestors, mostly Christian groups funded from the US, often aren't understood as a potential threat. But the current situation is the result of decades of dedicated campaigning by women's groups, obviously.)
