If the Ford or Gates Foundation dump hundreds of millions into contraceptive/abortion services in Africa the direct effect is culling the world of black babies. Wrapping it in a veneer of do-goodery is what imperialists have always been doing. Eugenics is still VERY much alive-- I run into sophisticated urbane people all the time who openly believe child-bearing should be restricted to people who pass IQ or means testing.

Um, no. The direct effect is on the lives of those who would otherwise have to birth and support those babies as they grow into children and adolescents. Using words like "culling" and "veneer of do-goodery" leads the discussion in the direction you want it to go.
