With the London Summit on Family Planning scheduled to take place this week, Melinda Gates writes in a post on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's "Impatient Optimists" blog that family planning "can mean everything to so many of the women and families I meet." She continues, "Providing family planning information and services to millions of women and girls in the poorest countries in the world gives them the opportunity to determine their own futures, and the best future for their children. As a woman and a mother, I can't imagine anything more important." Gates asks readers to watch and comment on a short video on the site (7/6).
