She has every desire to convince Catholic voters that the existence of church doctrine against an issue does not mean you must de-facto vote for candidates whose positions are in line with doctrine.

Either that or she's a total moron who's just spouting things without doing any research and who doesn't know that the official stance of the Catholic church is against abortion. Yeah, that's definitely the more likely answer.
