Melinda has lamented the fact that “enemies of progress” are starting to gain a foothold in the US.

Melinda Gates has announced she will donate a billion dollars to support women around the world, particularly with their access to abortion services.

No one has ever thought to fund abortion before! So courageous and brave.

(Insert huge eye-roll here)

Gates, who split from husband Bill in 2021, said she was starting her own philanthropic foundation to focus on promoting abortion:

To begin, I am announcing $1 billion in new spending over the next two years for people and organizations working on behalf of women and families around the world, including on reproductive rights in the United States.

The Gates Foundation, which she co-founded with Bill, has already tipped well over a hundred million dollars into what she affectionately calls “reproductive rights”.

But can you ever support abortion, forgive me, family planning, enough?

Massive Funding

She said it was vital to split from Bill’s Foundation that promoted abortion in order to start her own foundation to promote abortion, because otherwise,

“As shocking as it is to contemplate, my one-year-old granddaughter may grow up with fewer rights than I had.”

Oh, the irony! Ensuring women can easily abort their babies in order to secure the future of the next generation.

The Gates Foundation, which Melinda quit to do her own ghoulling, has given more than $94m to Planned Parenthood since the charity was founded, including $10.5m in 2022 alone, according to its grant database.

Planned Parenthood performed 374,155 abortions in the United States between 2021 and 2022, according to its most recent annual report.

Thanks, Bill and Melinda.

But there is so much more aborting to be done.

Irony

Melinda lamented the fact that “enemies of progress” were starting to gain a foothold in the United States.

Interesting turn of phrase, that.

I would have thought the “enemies of progress” were those who wish we could return to days before 1956 when ultrasound was invented.

Ah yes, ultrasound… that amazing technology enabling us to see the ‘nothing but a blob of tissue’ looks and moves suspiciously like an actual, real-life, human being deserving of human rights.

It is the abortion movement, not the pro-lifers, that is an enemy of progress!

Global Impact

Melinda boasted that she had given $20m each to other left-leaning women — including former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern — so that they could establish their own grant-making funds.

She told The New York Times:

“I’m eager to see the landscape of funding opportunities through their eyes, and the results their approaches unlock.”

We will all pretend to be surprised, not to mention impressed at the originality, when abortion services in New Zealand get a healthy boost.

Anyway, Melinda and ex-husband Bill make quite the pair.

He is using his fortune to try to block out the sun, while she is using hers to expedite the death of babies in the womb around the world.
