If you are not familiar with Ted Talks, it is a series of video speeches and talks by leaders and luminaries on myriad topics. Type in any topic that interests you and chances are, you’ll find someone speaking on the subject. For those who love to challenge themselves with new ideas, it is a great resource. BohoMamma happened upon Melinda Gates’ talk, Let’s Put Birth Control Back on the Agenda. Considering that Melinda Gates has pledged to raise billions of dollars to provide contraceptives to over 120 million women worldwide and considering that she is a lifelong and practicing Catholic, being able to hear her views concerning the need for access to birth control and the reality of the lives of women who do not have that access, is time well spent.
