I didn't realize having different views precluded being LJ friends (or friends of any sort) with people! Anyway, that wasn't an angry comment, and I'm not sure why you're telling me to simmer down—I just read the post and the comments and felt that you were missing a reason that pregnancy might be upsetting for people.
The social/political climate of the world is what shapes things like squicks and triggers—I didn't use the word "politics" to try to bring some sort of crazy left-wing crusade into your journal, I used it because things like that article I linked are what makes pregnancy scary to me in particular, and what helps me understand why it may be triggering for other people.
Anyway, I had no desire to unfriend you before you replied so rudely to my comment, but I'm not sure that I want this kind of immaturity on my friendslist. It's not cool to belittle stuff that upsets other people, even if you don't think it's something they should be bothered by, and this much fuss over putting "warning: pregnancy" at the top of a fic is completely gratuitous.
P.S. This is chaviola's alternate journal, if you didn't know. I'm not just some random person who wandered into your LJ.
