The United States has withheld it’s contribution to the UN Population Fund for the third year running since it does not agree with the agency’s support for abortion.

Guess who chipped in with $50 million the very next day? Bill Gates. His contribution to the UN fund to fight AIDS, TB and Malaria around the world stands at $150 million. Something to think about when people accuse him of being The Evil Person. If only someone would bail out the Population Fund too..
