I wrote a whole book about the complexity of the motives behind the overturn of Roe and how misogyny wasn’t the only factor but moments like this make clear IT SURE WAS A BIG ONE

I have a fond memory from college of taking a taxi to PP with a partner for her to get her (just released!) HPV vaccine, and the driver saying "ah, your parents will pay for this, but not for the baby!" We were too young and awkward to clarify, just laughed and moved on.

As abortion bans continue to push patients into longer travel times, higher costs, and more delays, the need for abortion later in pregnancy will only continue to rise. People don't just stop needing abortions when politicians decide to cut off access.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Idaho Law Protects Faith Healers. It Wasn’t Always That Way.

From at least the 1880s through the early 1970s, it was illegal for parents in Idaho to choose prayer over medical care when a child’s life was at stake.

I've had a lucky life and I've been to a lot of festivals around the world. I've thought about what it means to people to have pride of place and community and an annual event to put on, and how it was something my rootless self didn't have. Then I realized I did and it was RHPS.

It was a wonderful trip in so many ways. I don't post a lot here, but I felt moved to post about this. For most of my mutuals, we're often deciding whether or not to be open. It comes with risks, but the benefits are huge. I want people to know they share space and hobbies with abortion providers.

Again, I promise I didn't start conversations with "can I liberalize your views on abortion today?" I talked about a lot of other things, like pack weights, family vacations, fishing, 14ers, pain control for IUD insertion, hot topics in THEIR work... normal subjects!

It rained on the way back, so I curled up with a book, then hung out with some friends from the final stretch.

He said "would you still be okay with it if a woman at 37 weeks--" I interrupted, "I'll answer, but please make sure in your scenario that the pregnant person is a full person, making a reasonable decision on the basis of her circumstances, not a caricature." "...okay, yeah, I see what you mean."

Jake was initially surprised by me saying "no, the state should not impose [gestational-duration-based] limits," but started talking himself into it as soon as he replied, saying things like, "oh, but there will always be edge cases" and "I do like personal freedom..."

Sunlight was my first class 4 ascent. Of the seven of us at the summit, only two of us did the leap of faith to get to the very top.

A pile of massive boulders; two people sit like ants on the top. One, @Dr.Landgren, in his helmet, is descending with trepidation. This is the "leap of faith" section at the top of Sunlight Peak. Beyond it is a 3,000 foot drop, then distant mountains.

Jake from Florida was the other interesting abortion conversation. He identified as pro-choice, but said, "of course there should be guardrails." I hate the word guardrails here. I know voters like the idea, but to me it makes it sound like pregnant people are out-of-control cars.

My friends for North Eolus were pro-choice. We talked about sci-fi and fantasy, shared snacks (they had tinned mussels! on the mountain!), then went for a swim in the lake. I don't like any of the summit pictures, so here's a lake picture with them edited out.

Braden didn't share as much during the conversation about his views on abortion, but at the end expressed gratitude for what he had learned -- and gratitude that the conversation was never confrontational. We talked about a lot of other things too, to be clear!

Mt. Eolus was my favorite of these four 14ers. Here's a picture from the top, with North Eolus in the background, I think. My friends for this summit were pro-choice; we talked about teaching loved ones how to ski.
