The vows she took are different ones, but nonetheless I would not expect the SS stormtroopers to abandon their principles casually or lightly. What was being objected to in this series of posts was her fighting through argument alone against providing birth control. She had no authority to enforce that decision. She was simply expressing her belief. I think it's called free speech. The objectors claim that she should have violated her solem vow and supported birth control. They wold deny her the right of free speech to express her beliefs. That's a completely different thing from the stormtroopers going out and using force and authority to deny rights of other people. It's like saying the Stormtroopers were wrong because they didn't go public with support for the Allied bombings of their homeland. I'm not sure even you think they were wrong not to do that.
