The problem is that this answer implies you are not on the pill/using BC, and also. . . . well can come off as a little . . . uninformed.  I think a lot of people would have the internal response of "to avoid pregnancy that's why it is called birth control. .. . how does she not know what this is"

I think the line works if it's modified to "Why would I want to discuss that in public?"

Or, perhaps, "Why would I want to discuss that with someone not directly involved?"  I used that on a kid trying to lecture me on contraception when Mr. P. and I announced Little Pilgrim #3 is on the way.
