My stepmother did NOT like the way her Libertarian Viking Neighbor framed pregnancy as the fetus "attacking the woman". She incredulously told him this was extremely disrespectful to expectant mothers to portray pregnancy as so violent and negative.

Then you have to assess all that and decide "is this idea worthwhile?". In this environment, most ideas that get turned into Something are ones that the author(s) believe in.
