melinda gates is rallying others to pledge money and political commitments. >> all a foundation can do is be a catalytic wedge. we can put in a certain amount of money, but but the causes we picked around the world, they are so enormous that they take governments to come in. a foundation can take some of the risk out of the equation. >> it looks like governments are responding to it in africa, a woman dies every two minutes of pregnancy-related complications. most at risk, teenage mothers. the legal minimum age of 18 for girls to marry. india has pledged universal access to family planning by 2020, helping 64 million women. possibly boosting economic development, with these women better able to access education. >> in america, the religious right has long opposed government money going abroad to fund contraception. the gates foundation says they are moving with the tide of public opinion. >> 90% of americans think contraceptions are morally acceptable. 82% of catholics think contraceptives are morally acceptable. to me, that is not controversial. >> the conference was to help millions.
