    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

      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.
