I'm sure there are some beautifully written mpreg fics, but it just disturbs me on a cellular level for some reason. In a "that's not for me" way, not in a "not one should write this" way. Just want to clarify that -- I'm all in favour of people reading and enjoying mpreg, it's just not something I can read, for various reasons.

And, yes. The stories I read about American healthcare from so many of my friends still living in the USA make me cry. People choosing between taking their kids to the doctor and paying rent, people letting broken bones go unset because they don't want to pay for a doctor visit. It's one of the main reasons I never want to move back there. Well, that and only getting two weeks of paid vacation a year.
