Gates pledges $7 billion to promote abortion in Africa

Big Tech mogul Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation, has vowed to spend more than $7 billion in the next
four years to develop and implement innovative approaches to
control the population and promote abortion.
"Constantly reducing maternal mortality, constantly reducing
neonatal mortality, under-five mortality, that's really the metric
that drives our foundation," Gates said on November 17 while
speaking with University of Nairobi students on his first trip to
Africa since the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic began.
According to the foundation's website, this new commitment to
support African countries is on top of existing Gates Foundation
funding to multilateral organizations, including Gavi, the Vaccine
Alliance and the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, tuberculosis and
malaria.
"The big global challenges we face are persistent. But we have to
remember, so are the people solving them," Gates emphasized. Our
foundation will continue to support solutions in health, agriculture
and other critical areas and the systems to get them out of the labs
and to the people who need them."
However, critics believe that these "charitable works" are tied to
ideological agendas - especially since the billionaire's foundation
has been associated with the promotion of abortion, which stands
in sharp contrast to the predominantly pro-life culture of many
African countries. 
On the same day of Gates' visit to Kenya, a coalition of governments
promoting women's health policy convened at the U.S. Capitol to
commemorate the second anniversary of the Geneva Consensus
Declaration, an anti-abortion declaration cosponsored by the
governments of Brazil, Egypt, Hungary, Indonesia, Uganda and
the United States.
The 36 countries across five continents that signed the declaration
are bound by the belief that women's health should not be held
hostage by ideological agendas and supports both women and unborn
children in the pursuit of actual health care. The U.S. was
a founding member of the coalition, but its membership was withdrawn
by President Joe Biden immediately upon taking office.
The ambassador of Hungary to the U.S. Szabolcs Takacs said during
the occasion that the Hungarian government holds firm to the view
that "every human being should have the right to life … and fetal
life shall be subject to protection from the moment of conception."
Ambassador Alfonso Quinonez of Guatemala agreed. "Life starts
at conception. For us there is no question," he said. Quinonez also
relayed the message of Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei,
that their country "will continue to fight for life in all stages from
conception to natural death."
The ambassador cited recent efforts of Guatemala to combat abortion
activism at the United Nations as a testament to their pro-life
commitment.
Meanwhile, an opinion piece published by LifeNews stated: "Big
donors such as the Gates Foundation and the U.S. government should
take heed of the Geneva Consensus. Governments at the receiving
end of their ‘help' can speak for themselves, and together, they are
speaking loud and clear that every person is born with inherent
dignity and the right to life, and real women's health gains should
never be held hostage by the abortion agenda."
