Yeah, I've read a bit about the politics in Idaho. Sounds like they can't hang onto doctors who can do abortions. Sad. I wonder if the politics are at all different in Sand Point, a town I went through on my x-country bicycle trip where the people seemed really nice back then.

Actually the hospital in Sandpoint can no longer deliver babies because they lost all of their obstetric providers because of their fear of being arrested for providing reproductive healthcare. ItтАЩs happening in other parts of Idaho too.
I moved there in 1974 from the SF Bay Area. It was a bit of a culture shock but it was beautiful and a very nice place then. Interestingly during that time Frank Church was our Democratic Senator and Cecil Andrus our Democratic Governor. Idaho politics went down hill after that. Unfortunately things donтАЩt always change for the best.

Yup. Incidentally, this is probably the most important article I've ever read in my 50-odd years of serious reading/70 years on the planet.

Speaking from experience, that makes perfect sense.
I thought you'd find it so!

I read a long article somewhere about this happening in Idaho. Crazy stuff! It was such a nice place when I was there in July 1975 on my bicycle.

I remember Frank Church and Cecil Andrus, and it's good to be reminded of them. And indeed, how Idaho politics has fallen into the gutter.
