RH BILL. My Stand

A snippet from an article on a website:

What then will be the resulting moral norm in so far as their young lives are concerned? What about other young couples, women who also would like to have a piece of the action? With pills, even married women can comfortably make love with men other than their husbands, can’t they? Or so with men with some packs of condom in their pockets? Who would fear sex with anyone when the law would have opened wide so-called “freedom of choice”? The RH bill has successfully blurred the traditional notion on when pregnancy begins. It has successfully blurred the traditional notion on when human life begins. How can the law pretend to think that the fetus in the mother’s womb may not yet be a human being?

The journalist, obviously is anti-RH bill.
The CHURCH, is obviously, ANTI-RH BILL.

I am PRO RH BILL.

But do tell, Archbishops and Fathers, where were you when kids were dying of starvation cause the parents can't even keep up with feeding their children? Were you there to provide sustenance? Were you there to EVEN tell them that their faith will keep them alive *scoff

YOU WEREN'T. But the government was the firsthand witness to these problems, WELL, let's be realistic, THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHURCH won't be uberly affected with this.

Of course they wouldn't be, since the govt. have access to the tax that we pay and the church accepts donations every day, 365 days in a year.

BUT the difference is, the GOVERNMENT has to DEAL with these problems, UNLIKE the Church who, up-righteously condemn people who support this bill and ignore the pressing problems cause they'd rather sit on their gold-plated chairs and travel all around the world "preaching" the Good News.

The only good news that would matter to us right now would be the approval of the RH Bill.
But what exactly is the Reproductive Health Bill?
***googled
This bill, according to Rep. Lagman, promotes information on and access to both natural and modern family planning methods that are medically safe and legally permissible. It assures an enabling environment where women and couples have the freedom of informed choice on the mode of family planning they want to adopt based on their needs, personal convictions and religious beliefs.

House Bill No. 17, also known as the proposed "Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008," will cover the following areas:

* information and access to natural and modern family planning;
* maternal, infant and child health and nutrition;
* promotion of breast feeding;
* prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications;
* adolescent and youth health; prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases;
* elimination of violence against women; counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health;
* treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers;
* male involvement and participation in reproductive health;
* prevention and treatment of infertility; and
* reproductive health education for the youth.


The bill is controversial, as it is being opposed by the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is against the use of artificial contraceptives.

Rep. Edcel Lagman, however, says that the bill does not have any bias for or against either natural or modern family planning. Both modes are contraceptive methods with a common purpose of preventing pregnancies.

Father, please accept the fact that we have to be realistic nowadays. We chose to STOP being ignorant about reproductive health and sex education. Heck, we'd rather learn all these things in a scientific and objective manner rather than listen to our friends' gossip and give us tips which they learned from only god-knows-where.

But of course, we'd all be in agreement that we discuss this, amano to amano with a bottle of RH :p


PS ♥
The President won't be too affected with you planning to ex-communicate him and all, but I'm sure it would be a different story if YOU were to be banned "here" (which I doubt, will ever happen, but just to give you a reality check lang, I mean, you guys lack a dose of those man)
