I’m not sure what point they think they’re making. So, museum security for historical artifacts is underfunded more than female reproductive medical services?
If you break the law, you might get reproductive care as fast as a jewel thief can steal from a low security museum?
The point is organizing a >100 million dollar jewel heist is typically considered to be a grandiose effort seen only in movies, yet the nonchalant and timely manner in which it was executed was more similar to walking into a pharmacy for basic supplies.
…which is how easy access to reproductive care should be, yet in many places women need to go to far more extreme lengths
Yea, but the post tries to compare things that if done competently by the state should have opposite outcomes. Stealing historic jewels should be hard, if the state does its job. Getting reproductive care should be easy, if the state does its job. In both cases, the state isn’t doing its job well. But, the post is trying to ignore that distinction and make it seem like the state’s job is to provide jewel theft as a service and that it does that better than providing reproductive care. But, that is obviously not the case. The post is logically nonsense.
But we don’t know what the organization was like. For most women, that’s the difficult step - the end result usually is literally just walking into a pharmacy, but with cool music playing over slowmo shots of you in the building. The months of effort to get to that point are the issue.
It’s an imperfect metaphor as presented, but a shockingly perfect one with only a slight reframing.
How is this related at all?

Its got you talking. I think its a cool analogy.
It was fast, efficient, and nobody else was involved, I guess?
