Gates claims to hold a different view to his 2003 thoughts but his foundation's initiatives indicate otherwise.

GATES: When I was growing up, my parents were almost involved in various volunteer things. My dad was head of Planned Parenthood. And it was very controversial to be involved with that. And so it's fascinating. At the dinner table my parents are very good at sharing the things that they were doing. And almost treating us like adults, talking about that.

Whenever I question my beliefs or learn something new, I always say "wait, but, a job my dad had a long time ago was with an organization founded an even longer time ago by someone who was intentionally misquoted to have said something else entirely. Better forget that new thing, then."
