Yeah, I saw the connection you made, and then the confusion from the original poster, and I was like “Oop. Some conclusions were jumped to here!”
It wasn’t an illogical leap at all, but Texas-New Mexico border towns are already trying to claim that their towns are “Fetal Sanctuary Towns”. They want to prosecute women for driving on their roads to seek abortive care in New Mexico. So the last thing we need is people like that assuming that every woman driving anywhere is doing so just for an abortion.
