No, it is a reasonable bar. People say that different states in the US are like different countries, if that was the case why are people so outraged that this happened to a girl in a different country? It isn't like I am outraged that abortion is illegal in Poland, but I would be outraged if they banned abortion in my country.
Different states are not different countries, and, if I may be so bold, the U.S. should be held to a higher standard than theocratic states or dictatorships.
