Are you aware that Melinda Gates (wife of Bill Gates) is advocating the forced sterilization of women in the 'third world countries'?

Women are being denied access to contraceptives & abortions in the United States, but Melinda & Bill Gates (thru their various charity organizations) is advocating for the forced sterilization of women in the ‘third world countries’. I thought we got past the forced sterilization thing when we got past the Eugenics Movement (which did sterilize people who were considered to be “undesirable” – meaning mostly poor & non-white women & men). I understand that worldwide population needs to be reduced in order to assure that humans can continue to live on the only planet that we have, but to do forced sterilizations in the third world countries seems to me to be extreme. To deny people the right to have even a small family is not fair by any standard. And the fact that women in the United States are being denied access to contraceptives & abortions, while some are insisting on forced sterilizations in Africa – makes me wonder about the real reasons that are behind this push. The information about Melinda & Bill Gates push for forced sterilizations is available on the internet. You might find this link to be informative

Are we seeing a new Eugenics Movement growing?
