Of course, if you are not full of US-biassed versions of hoe words are used, you might see the UNFPA material accessible from a URL visible at the same link; A full sexual and reproductive health package includes: Family planning/birth spacing services Antenatal care, skilled attendance at delivery, and postnatal care Management of obstetric and neonatal complications and emergencies Prevention of abortion and management of complications resulting from unsafe abortion Prevention and treatment of reproductive tract infections and sexually transmitted infections including HIV/AIDS Early diagnosis and treatment for breast and cervical cancer Promotion, education and support for exclusive breast feeding Prevention and appropriate treatment of sub-fertility and infertility Active discouragement of harmful practices such as female genital cutting Adolescent sexual and reproductive health Prevention and management of gender-based violence Most of those who are properly informed in this field understand that, when women are able to exert effective control over their reproductive abilities, birthrates decrease. Which is, I suspect, what Gates was implying. Cheers, Rowan
