If denial of abortion access directly affects BIPOC, trans, and poor people more and topics along those lines are accepted to not hide behind a CW is it a good idea to suggest CW to people having their right to life jeopardized?

This is a topic that harms people in the ways we argue shouldn't be censored, so it's a case of working along those lines, not just episodic election rhetoric which I would CW with "us pol"

I'm aware that instances vary in their rules so it's complicated, but I seem to be reading this differently than many people in my feed.

Discussion of what to CW 

@slimepsychic I read and sometimes boost un-CW'd pol but I try to remember to CW it when I post it.

The one thing I want the most personally (for my own sake) that people CW (food, eating, woe), almost no-one does, so my sympathy for CW generally isn't the highest.

Don't overthink it. It's impossible to do it perfectly.

It's also difficult to have enough of the thing in the CW so people know what to expect but not so much that people get upset from just the CW alone.

A CW isn't censorship. It's just a "hey, sit down before you read this, if you need to".

re: Discussion of what to CW 

@slimepsychic I've never (well, before the last post) asked anyone else for a CW. I try to be Postel about these things, generous; to do them, but not demand them.
