Is it a talking point if it's true?  Sister Simone can't parrot the 'talking point' and maintain her status as a religious woman,  as parroting the talking point is above her pay grade. It puts her in the position of advocating that birth control is a lesser evil than aborting unwanted pregnancies.  The Church's stance on birth control flies in the face of it's insistence on the grave evil of abortion.  To equate the two is a false equivalency which the teaching authority has shoved down the throats of laity and this country for far too long.  If the issue is to reduce abortions, birth control is a huge tool in that endeavor.  If it's just to make abortion illegal, there are many examples of how that fails in comparison to access to birth control.  I am at a loss as to what the pro life goal actually is.  It must be 'don't have sex unless you want a baby'.  If that's the case, it's a message not heard by virtually all men and the majority of women.
