Contraception. Especially in China, India and Africa. They have enough people and the world is only so big.

Bill Gates is known for his support of “Population Control” and a number of Web Sites have shared the audio of his belief that vaccination programs can help reduce populations in the world. So this pledge supporting the distribution of contraceptives should not be surprising. Although the idea of using contraceptives to somehow saves lives, the beginning of contraceptive use in America can be trace to Margaret Sanger, who was jailed around 1917 for distributing contraceptives within poor populations in America. She believed all minority populations should be sterilized. After her book, “The Pivot Of Civilization”, opposition against her Nazi ideals was seriously challenged and she began to try another approach by creating “Planned Parenthood” as a means of saving lives. The idea contraception somehow saves lives is very interesting, but opposition to the use of contraception has be going on since the early 1800′s. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation in the last few years has been under scrutiny by a number of organizations and church groups for its financial support of vaccinations programs, contraception support, in addition to the support and distribution of Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) Food products and agriculture placed in Third World Cultures. We each can draw our own conclusions to the meaning of this Pledge. Umojaresearch Ref: 1. The Pivot Of Civilization, Margaret Sanger

I'm not sure what commentator was discussing Melinda Gates' ideas about contraception on the radio yesterday, July 12, but I have some thoughts to share as I was not able to call in. BUT, the very moment you step out and publically and in Melinda's case politically, go against what you should be believing and supporting, you have just become a hypocrite. Maybe Melinda just likes the idea of "being" Catholic or maybe it is a status or political move for her. Whatever the case, the fact that she is pushing a movement against the true teachings of the Catholic Church is an insult to those of us who are TRUE Catholics. I think it is deplorable that this State and this Nation have put the Gates on such a pedestal simply because of their monetary contributions. Melinda's latest push back against the Catholic Church is a sign of who she really is and a symbol of what many people have lowered themselves to - pressure to do what looks good for political or personal gain. How about living the teachings of your religion and not using the name of the Church to gain something for yourself! Boo to Melinda Gates!
