Arbp Dolan and abortion in New York

"In response to recent statistics revealing that 41 percent of pregnancies in New York City in 2009 ended in abortion, New York Archbishop Timothy M. Dolan reiterated the pledge of his predecessors to help any pregnant woman in need" (More here, in The Catholic Sun).  Excellent.  As Michael Sean Winters notes, though, the National Organization for Women was not pleased by the Archbishop's offer, and instead suggested that the Church is inconsistent for opposing abortion and contraception:  "The Catholic Church isn’t willing to support the use of contraception," they note, "so how exactly do they want to reduce unintended pregnancies?"  Sheesh.
