Melinda Gates 2, Let's put birth control back on the agenda (script)
Summary
Progressing of the issue starts from you talk to other people about it. You can learn by talking to other people, by doing, by trying and by mistakes. Today's topic is about contraception and birth control. This is the agenda that has to be discussed more. In our world, men and women should be free to decide whether they want to conceive a child or not.
However, our minds will be controlled by the thought that 1) talking about sex is uncomfortable. 2) Contraception is the same as abortion but 3) it increases the likelihood that lots of sex happens outside marriage. 4) Controlled populations shouldn't be planted.
What the speaker wants to say is completely different. What she wants to talk about is giving women the power to save their lives and their children's lives, and to give their families the best possible future. They can avoid pregnancy that they don't want and control over how many children they have. They can also think about their business that they might not think about it if they have many children and they will be able to afford to give their children good education.
This is a very powerful idea. It means that parents have the ability not to just accept the future as it is but to affect it. You can get to make choices about your lives. This is the agenda that the world has to discuss.
