[WARNING: This is cut and paste >>] Most of Buffett’s share of the charitable donations (over $100 million) went to his Buffett Foundation, which supports the most radical aspects of the population control movement. In 1994, Buffett provided $2 million in funding for the Population Council, which was used to fund clinical trials of Mifepristone (RU-486). Buffett also provided $2 million to Family Health International for the distribution of quinacrine hydrochloride, a chemical with sterilizes a woman by burning her fallopian tubes. Quinacrine is illegal in the U.S., but is used, often coercively, in Vietnam, India, and other nations. In the late 1990s, Buffett committed to a $20 million grant to International Projects Assistance Services (IPAS) which manufactures and distributes manual vacuum aspirators, used for performing abortions in the Third World.
While the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation claims not to fund abortion, they do fund population control (though they call it "family planning"):
There’s a wonderful biography out about Buffett called “The Snowball.” I believe it’s an authorized biography, too. It’s all laid out in the book. Buffett’s father interestingly would be considered today a far-right winger and has got to be turning over in his grave because his son turned into a commie. Buffett is completely in the tank for abortion and population control among every other left-wing commie idiocy out there. It’s all easily accessible in the very pro-Buffett book, “The Snowball.”

Seems to be about contraception, nutrition, and other “general” health care. Microsoft would suffer badly if it could be credibly tied to abortion — so Gates shuns it.
bump!
