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.

I think the post is very logical. We must consider what the barrier to healthcare access actually is for some women.

Right so suppose access to healthcare is easy by default, and in fact is only being caused to be difficult by the direct efforts of a malicious state.

In this case, the state is now expending resources on making women’s lives difficult. They’re doing their job well, it’s just that their job is evil and was assigned by evil people. The post now logically compares the relative ease of doing two things the state is actually against
