Subject: RE: BS: Eugenics -- evidence all around you
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.
