“There’s no way to balance a cut in [a] rich country’s generosity,” Gates told The Guardian in an interview before the United Nations General Assembly opens next week.

Of course not, because some of those charities might actually be Christian and not promote precious abortion.

Message to Bill Gates:  one is voluntary, the other involuntary.
