Actually it was part of their deal with the Vatican to prevent funding to countries 
which taught birth control education to poor people, which was how the got the 
Vatican's help overthrowing communism in Poland and elsewhere.

No, it wasn't. Birth control was legal there but in very short supply (as were many 
items under communism). Romania had one of the world's highest (if not the highest) 
rate of abortion under the Ceacescu regime, with 'abortion factories' were women were 
literally put on a production line staffed by doctors who processed them one after 
another. The terrible numbers and conditions of orphans is largely due to the 
emigration of parents to the west, the imprisonment or killing of parents and even 
(dare i suggest) the destruction of family values under Romanian Communism.
