Say No to RH Bill

I have to admit that the arguments presented are well-researched and seem evidence-based. And her points are definitely much better than those of the dogmatic CBCP. Does it change my stance on the RH Bill? I am always for education and for informed consent. Dr. Manalo provided information on why some contraceptives are health hazards and I have always been against birth-control pills and the IUD. I have always believed that, as a birth control device, the condom is the most safe and effective contraceptive device. And if one claims that life begins at fertilization, condoms should be morally acceptable because it prevents fertilization, right?

I’m against with that of RH. Bill. How come the Philippines are one of the poorest countries in the world! Is RH bill can help to lessen the poverty we are facing? Common people make up your mind. The problem is not the issue of over population, the government should do things to help those unlucky people like the poor ones, give them a job in order to sustain their needs.

If my opinion at all can reach your community, I really feel my role as a mother bringing my humble experience rose in a poor surrounding in San Miguel, Quiapo can contribute “a no-agenda” lesson except stand on truth you may want to hear. Im Anti-RH.
My sights traveled every time my curiosity picked the thickening number of young street children. At their tender years they roamed the street and congest the whole ground of San Miguel where I grew and spent my childhood. My parents brought seven children and out of their perseverance and labor of love put us to colleges so we all finished our undergraduate degrees. That mediocre life brought me closely to feel about street children in poor communities that are exposed to social ills. Some were rescued taken by orphanages. Those unlucky ones brought up by wrong parenting lived in dismal abuses—alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana and prohibitive drugs. Our street-folks take prying noses at the lives of juveniles moonlighting as sexual dancers. I visualized their jaded life experiencing grim reality.

I ‘m saddened over this pathetic situation right in front of me. I looked at young street gangs and many youth facing a rogue life passing time in darkened corners sniffing rugby. Caught on act inside stationed passenger jeepneys are sex partners as they performed a quickie. Street commotion rang out when our neighbors discovered the aggressive young offenders. I blamed their parent for not taking their responsibility or the failure of “political nucleus.” Everyone neglected to do something. Economic poverty had boomeranged centuries after centuries yet it also ingrained moral irresponsibility. Something is wrong in the peculiar environment around these children.

No kind of depopulation measure is concrete. This sense we just grasp is a rippling show on the nature of our “aggressive youth, their curiosity, immaturity.” Actualization for early sex education borne from the loud assumptions of the RH Bill may get high stakes and flaws. Awaiting us is a big turnout of those who will get happy hour in motels, instant mating (of course, instant condoms and pills.) Rizal’s homeland will be an attraction for legal market of juvenile for sex. Children’s early exposure to sex teaching will impact on their libido. Sexual appetites proved on some types of kids can leak out wrong morals that present woes for them.

It’s upsetting because the poor street kids or young less fortunate students can follow easily a path into sex trade for money. Truthfully, money temptation breeds sex offenders. Our children very early will be encouraged to have active sex life…now with just the internet they grab polluted sex. They would take easily condoms, contraceptive pill excessively streaming everywhere. As youth or adults are fond of alcoholic drinks, their frenzy to perform sex is still today on the level of restriction. However their urges if minimal today, tomorrow with RH Bill it can range without limits. It’s enough that we enjoy now free choice to this concern of birth planning. Our country is so big we only need to decompress the metropolis towards rural migration. Besides the government, everyone can help uplift the condition of the poor especially the rich. NGOs should create health and clean lifestyle programs to improve the well-being of poor communities. It’s idiotic to pass a redundant RH Bill, according to Fr. Bernas himself Pro-RH. So, there it is– a no-no bill.

Our ancestors planted crops, the future youth will plant condom, pills against poverty. Yesterday they sweated in the field; today they sweat on a sex ride. Our social class should become right advocates of good morals for the youth. We couldn’t be gulping all foreign influences; rubbish mistakes in dangerous sex practice would very much break apart the core Filipino values in us.

“The Teeth” of RH bill is a dark blast it steals public fund with recourse of moral decline to the future of children. It discourages the parent-children trust relationship. RH Bill destroys family harmony as highly-sexed partners would look extra ways in other diversions from sexual temptation. We always instilled Filipino faith different from other Christian nation that identifies what our ancestors have painstakingly cultured in us. We become a country so mixed-up living on divorce and legal abortion as our best-crafted agenda.

Most times we question Faith. Bright people that are very proud at times drift in the ways of God. We are mistaken we possess the powers of God so it often conflicted us to this time. The buffer rested on our country’s poverty problem is pointing to the lack of altruistic principles. We need to help the lives of small people, future generation and to respect everything representing God.

Arun Gogna, a La Sallian, best-selling author who had penned the Secret to an Obedient Life. Excerpts I quote, “I am not Batman.. ..I’m but-a- man, not super human afterall…Faith over reasoning to bring a God’s family.” No to RH Bill.

...A GUIDE TO ARGUMENTS FOR AND AGAINST THE REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH BILL This matrix has been prepared by a group of Catholics who feel that a systematic comparison of the arguments for and against the reproductive health (RH) bill may still serve some purpose at this juncture. It may help to bring the debate from the emotional temper which has characterized it thus far, to a more rational temper in which both sides attempt to comprehend each other’s perspectives. It is hoped that this presentation will allow each side to view the other’s argumentation as the legitimate offering of reasons in good faith which ought to characterize a democratic process of deliberation. Such a process must be valued equally by all who are committed to living together in a democracy, be they Catholic or non-Catholic, pro- or anti-contraception. Questions in the final column are provided to aid further reflection, with a view to clarifying positions and, perhaps, to building compromises that are morally and politically acceptable to both sides.

...com Published 5:26 PM, March 27, 2014 Updated 5:26 PM, March 27, 2014 [pic] MANILA, Philippines – A social media campaign is underway to raise awareness in support of the reproductive health (RH) law, whose implementation has been put on hold by the Supreme Court for a year a now. Republic Act 10354, which would provide information on and access to reproductive health services, is under status quo ante order “until further orders” by the Supreme Court (SC). The law – probably the most polarizing national issue today – was passed on December 18, 2012, after 13 years in Congress. Anti-RH advocates immediately questioned the constitutionality of the law before the SC. The high court is expected to decide on the case in April, with insiders predicting the law could be headed for defeat in the Supreme Court. House Speaker Feliciano Belmonte Jr has said that declaring the RH law as unconstitutional would be "a veto against the will of majority of our people." As decision time nears, frustrated reproductive health supporters are taking the fight to the social media world. The #Yes2RH campaign was initiated by Likhaan Center for Women's Health, in cooperation with several other pro-RH organization.It will run from March 28 until April 8. Likhaan calls on other RH advocates to support the campaign, and hopefully influence the upcoming SC decision. Using the hashtag #Yes2RH, they've started a campaign that asks citizens to upload selfies on their Facebook and Twitter...

Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, GMA Network, ABS-CBN and TV 5 intentionally ignored the anti-RH rally of 20,000 people or so. What is more irritating is that these media entities gave column space and air time to a pro-RH rally staged in front of the Philippine Congress. This rally was held by a certain party list and just attended by 50 people or so. The bias is very obvious. Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, GMA Network, ABS-CBN and TV 5 can't give time and space for a rally held by thousands of people coming from various organizations, yet chose to entertain the rally of few people coming from one organization. With this, I have only one conclusion. Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, GMA Network, ABS-CBN and TV 5 are untrustworthy media entities. They are biased and submit themselves to propaganda. They don't fairly air both sides of the issue, especially the issue about the RH Bill or the consolidated RH Bill. They are disgusting, especially whenever their news anchors says...

As defined by the World Health Organization, RH bill means "the state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes." This implies that people have the capability to safely reproduce, provided within the context of the law. In the Philippines, RH bill aims to promise complete access to modern methods and information which openly engage on birth control and maternal care. II. COUNTER ARGUMENTS Proponents Argument: 1. Overpopulation in the Philippines intensified the country's poverty rate thus causing the government to have difficulties in dealing the concern. 2.

...CATHOLICS CAN SUPPORT THE RH BILL IN GOOD CONSCIENCE (Position paper on the Reproductive Health Bill by individual faculty* of the Ateneo de Manila University) (Note: The opinions expressed in this paper are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of other faculty. Neither do they represent the official position of the Ateneo de Manila University nor the Society of Jesus.) We, individual faculty of the Ateneo de Manila University, call for the immediate passage of House Bill 5043 on “Reproductive Health and Population Development” (hereafter RH Bill) in Congress. After examining it in the light of Philippine social realities, and informed by our Christian faith, we have reached the conclusion that our country urgently needs a comprehensive and integrated policy on reproductive health and population development, as provided by the RH Bill. We also believe that the provisions of the bill adhere to core principles of Catholic social teaching: the sanctity of human life, the dignity of the human person, the preferential option for the poor and vulnerable, integral human development, human rights, and the primacy of conscience. Catholic social theology since Vatican II has evolved, on the one hand, from the emphasis on order, social cohesiveness, the acceptance of some inequality, and obedience to authorityto the recognition, on the other, of the centrality of the human person, and the concomitant need for human freedom, equality, and participation (Pacem...

...planning devices such as birth control pills (BCPs) and IUDs, and as the government continue campaigning to broadcast a good information and effect on its use through health care centers nationwide. Everyone has been talking about this RH law, for some agreed and some don’t. In some part of each individual, RH law may help and it may bring into some point also that it may trigger to do such thing that will ruin someone’s life. But as the saying goes that every little thing that is too much is not good. So, it depends on how we’re going to take it and treat it as long as we are only motivated to do well and focus only to what could bring us a healthy and happy life. The bill mandates the government to “promote, without bias, all effective natural and modern methods of family planning that are medically safe and legal.” Although abortion is recognized as illegal and punishable by law, the bill states that “the government shall ensure that all women needing care for post-abortion complications shall be treated and counseled in a humane, non-judgmental and compassionate manner.”The bill calls for a “multi-dimensional approach” integrates a component of family planning and responsible parenthood into all government anti-poverty programs. Under the bill, age-appropriate reproductive health and sexuality education is required from grade five to fourth year high...

...More views against the RH bill are pouring in. Apparently they have not been considered by the Lower House Committee before the bill was endorsed to the entire body for approval in the plenary session. Hence for the enlightenment of our legislators and the entire citizenry, presented here are some more of these views, one of them coming from a lawyer Atty. Rex A. Salvilla who clearly and ably refutes some stand of the bill’s advocates: “First, the advocates say that the opponents of RH bill are anti-poor for allowing population explosion. This is not true because the opponents, like the advocates are also for population control. Both differ only on the method of control – the advocates thru condom which cost money while the opponents thru natural family planning which costs not a single centavo but only mere discipline on the part of the spouses So, who is anti-poor? It is the advocates. Second, the advocates say that they are pro-choice. This is not also true. The draft bill contains a penal clause punishing by imprisonment and/or fine those obstructing the use of condoms and promoting family planning. Is this not like tying a person to a post and telling him, “You are free”? So, where is “pro-choice” here? In fact, the bill is a “no-choice” piece. Third, the advocates say that the Pope supports condom use. This is interpreting the Pontiff out of context. The Pope simply provided an exception in the same way that God has also provided exceptions to His own commandments. Take...

...world and maybe even why our country tops the list of the poorest countries in the world. In response to it, some members of the government last July of the year 2010 proposed House Bill No. 96 otherwise known as the Reproductive Health Bill. What are the contents of this bill that it has been the source of debates until today? Why does the church and some activists earnestly disagree with it if will help lessen the growing population of the country? What is the Reproductive Health Bill or RH Bill? The RH Bill is a bill that allows the usage of mechanical and chemical barriers such as pills, condoms and IUDs (intrauterine devices). Moreover, this bill strictly states that sex education should be taught to students starting from the third grade. Thus, it requires and allows every doctor to give barriers and perform medical processes. Any doctor who will refuse to do such acts will be charged fifty thousand pesos. In accordance to the Family Planning Survey in 2006, 2.6 million Filipinas would like to plan their families but they lack information and access to do so. 44% of the pregnancies in the poorest quintile are unwanted and some of the poorest Filipinas are still having an average of six children. These have been some of the reasons noted by Congressman Edcel C. Lagman for proposing such a bill. But is it not that the policy makers should understand and respect our side of Catholics who respect the preservation and protection of human life? Natural Family Planning is still...

...time birth control was introduced to history was in the 1900’s. Population had increased rapidly. Margaret Sanger, a nurse, believed that the poor needed to control the size of their families. In 1916, Sanger established the first birth control clinic and in 1917, founded the National Birth Control League. Although widespread use of birth control is visible throughout the world, particularly in Europe and the United States, where birth control methods are legally available, not everyone is in favor of contraception. The Roman Catholic Church forbids artificial methods of birth control, upholding the belief that sexual love in marriage should never be separated from the chance of conception. RESEARCH LITERATURE The Reproductive Health Bill has two goals: to promote responsible parenthood through the use of birth control methods, and to assure widespread access to medically-safe, legal, and quality reproductive health care and relevant information. It stands upon the assumption that many Filipino women die of childbirth and abortion...

Sabi ng ilang sumusuporta dito, ito ang magbibigay kalayaan sa mga mag-asawa upang makapag-plano ng pamilya at kaalaman naman sa mga kabataan. Sabi ng mga kritiko naman nito ay puputol ito ng buhay at lalason sa batang isipan. Ito ang Reproductive Health bill o sa mas tawag na ‘RH bill’. Labindalawang taon nang pinagdedebatehan at nakabinbin ito sa Kongreso, may 6 nang bersyon at 3 pangulo ng bansa na ang pinagdaanan. Ngunit ngayon ay pinagsama-sama ang mga bersyon nito at ginawang isang panukalang batas. Dahil nabuhay muli ang usaping ito, nahati uli ang pananaw ng sambayanan, ipasa o ibasura? Ano ba ang hangarin ng RH Bill? Ito’y magbibigay ng kalayaan sa mga mag-asawa upang makapamili ng planong pampamilya kung ito ba’y natural o artificial.
