as much as a detest ratzinger now benedict, i dont see this action as hypocritical. i see is as a wrong move, a bad idea, but not as hypocrisy. whatever you might think of the catholic church these days it is a hell of a lot more consistent in its politics re. this issue of "life" than say any american protestant group is--at least the church connects the dots together and so links its (retrograde) contraception policies, its (retrograde) abortion policies to a kind of bland pacifism and a kind of vague preference for better material conditions for the poor than the present order allows for. most american "prolife" organizations dont manage even that.
