By July 2017, Melinda Gates announced her funding of pro-[[abortion]] groups to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while demanding that the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic Church]] change its opposition to contraception.  Gates asserted that she was not funding abortion itself, while funding groups that advocate and perform abortions.
