text: I didn't take her to be trashing the Gates foundation. I thought her primary criticism was of the disparity between the supports available to wealthier women, to have whatever families they like on whatever terms they like, and the resources available to poor women. She points out how the deck is stacked against the poor, and particularly women of color.  I didn't get that she thought they shouldn't have access to birth control. Rather, it seemed that she thought they should have access to humane employment, child care, health care, housing, educational opportunities, and the whole range of social goods that women of greater means enjoy, as they build and nurture their own families. Access to birth control alone is insufficient. The idea that the greatest impediment to the well-being of the poor is their own fertility is a falsehood that lets the privileged off the hook. There is a lot more than birth control that everyone should have access to. At least, that's how I read it.
