Contraceptives
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 for contraception’s should not be surprising.
Although the idea of using contraceptives somehow saves lives, the beginning of contraceptive use in America can be traced to Margaret Sanger, who was jailed around 1917 for distributing contraceptives within poor populations. 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 contraceptives somehow saves lives is very interesting, but opposition to the use of contraception has been 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.

Contraceptives and Planned Parenthood was exposed in America, not for saving lives, but destroying them.

Also look online for the book, The Pivot of Civilization, by Margaret Sanger. Margaret Sanger believed all minorities should be sterilized and were unworthy of bearing children.
