Mints on Your Pillow?


A sign in Cape Town.  South Africa apparently has quite liberal and enlightened pro-choice
legal policies, if I'm reading Wikipedia correctly, so yay South Africa, but this sign is a
little disturbing. 

Partially it's the lack of any sort of medical qualifications that makes it so unnerving--it
would be nice to know that a doctor and a hospital are involved, say--and partially it's
the fact that the procedure is apparently carried out using WhatsApp, a feature that
my Samsung Galaxy phone, for one, doesn't have. 

But I think it's mostly the words "30 Mints" that has me flustered.  Is that the fee? 
Do you lie down on a pillow that has 30 mints on it?  Are 30 mints somehow
used to induce termination?  Do you receive a coupon worth 30 mints toward your
next surgical procedure?
