Abortion has become a very politicised issue that I think countries have to work out themselves. In a lot of countries, people can't even yet agree on what their laws should be.

More quotes by Melinda Gates
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh.
Melinda Gates
In the United States, there's definitely some controversy about birth control in general, and I think we needed to split the debate and have people realize that we actually agree as a country about contraceptives. Over 93 percent of American women say they use contraceptives, and they feel very good about it.
Melinda Gates
Bill [Gates] and I believe philanthropy can only be effective if it starts things and proves whether they actually work or not. That's the place that governments often don't want to, or can't, work.
Melinda Gates
It is still just unbelievable to us that diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child deaths in the world.
Melinda Gates
I think it's very important that we instill in our kids that it has nothing to do with their name or their situation that they're growing up in it has to do with who they are as an individual.
Melinda Gates
If we don't empower women, we don't allow them to unlock the potential of themselves and their children.
Melinda Gates
Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common.
Melinda Gates
It's really one of my all-time favorite things to do. To go out and really see the kids and visit the moms who are in these programs because I think I really get to see what happens on the ground and connect with them about what changes are that happen in their lives because of some of the giving that we're able to do.
Melinda Gates
If you want to lift up an economy in Africa, you basically start with the women.
Melinda Gates
Take time to learn about the lives of women around the world-and try to play a small part in their fight to create the future they deserve.
Melinda Gates
I felt suicidal. I couldn't stop crying. I remember thinking, wouldn't it be great if the car crashed and I died?
Melinda Gates
I'm constantly saying to myself, 'I'm lucky I was born in the United States.
Melinda Gates
As a parent, the responsible thing to do - if you love your child - is to vaccinate your child.
Melinda Gates
You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
Melinda Gates
Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We've strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high, and those from junior high to high school. But, that critical step taking students from high school into adulthood is badly broken. And it can no longer support the weight it must bear.
Melinda Gates
The biggest killers of children around the world are two things: diarrhea and pneumonia. When you think about it, in the United States, kids don't die of diarrhea anymore, but it's a huge problem in the developing world.
Melinda Gates
Women are the centre of the family. It's the woman who decides what's eaten in the house, when to have the kids vaccinated everything that has to do with the children's health revolves around her.
Melinda Gates
Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.
Melinda Gates
When I look at 225 million women who want contraceptives, and then I look at the 52 million unintended pregnancies that could be avoided by addressing this unmet need, where can we have the biggest impact with our voice, our dollars, our partners? It's on contraceptives. I would rather address the problem upstream.

One life is worth no more or less than any other
