“I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don’t? Because you don’t want any tax money to go there. That’s not pro-life. That’s pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is.”

What she says is true as far as it goes but still totally misses the point.
Of course a consistent life ethic is not merely pro-birth. Duh.
Sound judgement is what is called for. IMHO it’s not sound judgement to say this kind of thing as long as the world is chock-full of people who are looking for excuses for the abortions they or their relatives have had or performed.
