Ten Good Reasons to Pass the RH Bill Now
In 1998, RH was a bland program that 2 DOH secretaries wished to mainstream into the health system. Now, RH or reproductive health is a byword that has gripped the public consciousness.
Majority have supported RH in endless surveys while congressional and presidential debates have erupted on the issue. Why is there majority support for RH? Many strategic and practical reasons. Here are 10 easy ones:
RH DOES …
1 Protect the health & lives of mothers
The WHO (World Health Organization) estimates that complications arise in 15% of pregnancies, serious enough to hospitalize or kill women. From the 2 million plus live births alone, some 300,000 maternal complications occur yearly. This is 7 times the DOH’s annual count for TB, 19 times for heart diseases, and 20 times for malaria in women. As a result, more than 11 women die needlessly each day.
Adequate number of skilled birth attendants and prompt referral to hospitals with emergency obstetric care are proven life-saving solutions to maternal complications. For women who wish to stop childbearing, family planning (FP) is the best preventive measure. All 3 interventions are part of RH.
2 Save babies
Proper birth spacing reduces infant deaths. The WHO says at least 2 years should pass between a birth and the next pregnancy. In our country, the infant mortality rate of those with less than 2 years birth interval is twice those with 3. The more effective and user-friendly the FP method used, the greater the chances of the next child to survive.
3 Respond to the majority who want smaller families
Couples and women nowadays want smaller families. When surveyed about their ideal number of children, women in their 40s want slightly more than 3, but those in their teens and early 20s want just slightly more than 2.
Moreover, couples end up with families larger than what they desire. On average, Filipino women want close to 2 children but end up with 3. This gap between desired and actual family size is present in all social classes and regions, but is biggest among those who are poor.
4 Promote equity for poor families
RH indicators show severe inequities between the rich and poor. For example, 94% of women in the richest quintile have a skilled attendant at birth compared to only 26% in the poorest. The richest have 3 times higher tubal ligation rates compared to the poorest. This equity gap in tubal ligation partly explains why the wealthy hardly exceed their planned number of children, while the poorest get an extra 2. Infant deaths among the poorest are almost 3 times compared to the richest, which partly explains why the poor plan for more children. An RH law will promote equity in health through stronger public health services accessible to poor families.
5 Prevent induced abortions
Unintended pregnancies precede almost all induced abortions. Of all unintended pregnancies, 68% occur in women without any FP method, and 24% happen to those using traditional FP like withdrawal or calendar-abstinence.
If all those who want to space or stop childbearing would use modern FP, abortions would fall by some 500,000—close to 90% of the estimated total. In our country where abortion is strictly criminalized, and where 90,000 women are hospitalized yearly for complications, it would be reckless and heartless not to ensure prevention through FP.
6 Support and deploy more public midwives, nurses and doctors
RH health services are needed wherever people are establishing their families. For example, a report by the MDG Task Force points out the need for 1 fulltime midwife to attend to every 100 to 200 annual live births. Other health staff are needed for the millions who need prenatal and postpartum care, infant care and family planning. Investing in these core public health staff will serve the basic needs of many communities.
7 Guarantee funding for & equal access to health facilities
RH will need and therefore support many levels of health facilities. These range from barangay health stations, for basic prenatal, infant and FP care; health centers, for safe birthing, more difficult RH services like IUD insertions, and management of sexually transmitted infections; and hospitals, for emergency obstetric and newborn care and surgical contraception. Strong RH facilities will be the backbone of a strong and fairly distributed public health facility system.
8 Give accurate & positive sexuality education to young people
Currently, most young people enter relationships and even married life without the benefit of systematic inputs by any of our social institutions. As a result of just one faulty sexual decision, many young women and men can lose their future, their health and sometimes their lives. We insist on young voters’ education for an activity that occurs once every 3 years, but leave our young people with little preparation to cope with major life events like puberty and sexual maturation.
9 Reduce cancer deaths
Delaying sex, avoiding multiple partners or using condoms prevent genital warts or HPV infections that cause cervical cancers. Self breast exams and Pap smears can detect early signs of cancers which can be cured if treated early. All these are part of RH education and care. Contraceptives do not heighten cancer risks; combined pills actually reduce the risk of endometrial and ovarian cancers.
10 Save money that can be used for even more social spending
Ensuring modern FP for all who need it would increase spending from P1.9 B to P4.0 B, but the medical costs for unintended pregnancies would fall from P3.5 B to P0.6 B, resulting in a net savings of P0.8 B. There is evidence that families with fewer children do spend more for health and education.

(I should have asked before re-posting) ...
Logically Inconsistent argument.
"That might be your opinion, but don't impose your morality on me!"
Likas sa ating mga Pilipino ang mapagmahal sa Kalayaan, at bilang protector of “democracy” and lover of “freedom”, the sound of imposing morality found to be an intrusion on your right to be a “free man” - Scenario that happened during Martial Law.
This is the exact “nutrient” that ProRH wanted to exploit – to insert an oil of Relativism! Setting the mind of all “pawn” with the no objective moral truth - truth claims are subjective, merely reflecting one's own feelings, opinions, or desires. Truth is Subjective – No truth that applies to everyone. "What is true for you may not be true for other people, so each person should be free to make up his own morality." Ika nga ni Dr. Sri.
Thus, those people who wanted to show the whole picture of the bill are likely to be dismissed as rigid, fundamentalist, judgmental, and intolerant at maidagdag ko rin na truncated as “moralist”, “out-of-fashion” in a new trend of society that most people presently share. “makaluma” “anti-quality of life”. Kaya maririnig natin(lalo na pag wala ng maisagot) ang walang kamatayang :
Lagman : "Hindi pwedeng i-enforce ang dogma thru legislation, I am a congressman who is Catholic but I am not a Catholic congressman”
Bello : “Please do not impose your particular brand of ethics on us,”
Santiago : "We can argue about this till kingdom come and never arrive at an answer.”
Tama kaya sila? Well they are pretty illogical. I’m not challenging your intelligence but take a look on how inconsistent the “"That might be your opinion, but don't impose your morality on me!" or “No absolute truth” argument: (hayaan kong mga former fertilized ovum ang sumagot)
Maliwanag na nailatag ni Mr. Dough M. kung ano ang “right to my opinion”: “I have a right to my opinion if it is evident that no other opinion is supported by enough data to render mine less likely to be true. And the right to my opinion ends when someone puts forth an argument that turns out to be more than a mere opinion, but a conclusion based on true premises and sound reasoning.”
At sa pagkakahayag naman ng isang former atheist, former political radical, former shipyard welder - J. Budziszewski : "The root of the enacted law is the moral law; the root of the moral law is the design of the created order.
"How often have you heard the slogan, "Law should not enforce morality"? It is an error.. All law has a moral basis. Even bad law has a moral basis — a basis in false morality."
"Try to think of a law that is not based on a moral idea. You can't do it..taxes? That one is based on the moral idea that some people ought to be made to pay for the benefits that other people receive. The law punishing murder is based on the moral idea that innocent blood may not be shed; Now if all laws are based on moral ideas, then obviously we ought to scrutinize them to make sure that they are based on true ones instead of false ones. The root of the enacted law is the moral law. Even the everyday pagan can understand this."
‘No absolute truth’? They were asserting at least one truth: that there is no absolute truth. c.pio :)
Now, Oral Contraceptive pills elevate the risk of having a breast cancer according to cancer.gov (opinion?) You and I are equal (not a truth that applies to everyone?) Putting one innocent life to the risk of death is a crime (Immoral?).

think about what your complaining about
You have a lot of sources! Come'on just pick one!!! From atheist? come'on! Your a catholic right?? Reality check!!! There are a lot of Filipinos who can't feed their family!! Except whining your anti-RH bill complaint why don't you help other Filipinos? If your just gonna complaint and complaint about the RH bill why don't you do something useful! The RH bill has a lot of benefits! Open your eyes!! Maybe they're closed!! It's about time people become responsible to plan their family and their future!
O c'mon Mr. reality check! Do
O c'mon Mr. reality check! Do you mean you need rhb for you to be responsible parent? Can you not be responsible without rhb? On health care and reproduction, can you not do something useful/beneficial to yourself, to your family, to the people if you like minus rhb?
you better reflect on what
you better reflect on what you are saying.... the reason why we are here is simply to become a solution to another person/s problem. pag may nahirap tulungan u hindi lang kung paano gumamit ng condon or contraceptives, kundi kung paano pahalagahan ang buhay and that will make a big difference in one's life. If you value life, I guess you will not indulge to sexual act if you know that your wife is fertile....because marriage is not all about sex it is a respect and commitment on both parties including your future children..... life is beautiful and so is everything around us.. Ang isa pang nakaktuwa sa mga Filipino, wlang maipakin sa ank my pang load at my panbabae pa... asan ka pa? AGain, It is just an ATTITUde that we need to change. Nothing else, nothing more. IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU LOVE YOUR FELLOW FILIPINOS THEN, LOOK AROUND YOU, AND HELP THEM TO BE THE BEST PERSON THAT THEY CAN BE....IT PAYS FORWARD. 100% PROVEN.
you were right,RH Bill is not
you were right,RH Bill is not the solution for our problem.if you dont like to get pregnant then don't engaged to sex as simple as that.
Short but very good
Short but very good reflections! Samakatuwid, sabay tayong sumigaw, RHB is not necessary! Few conscience-callous are behind this, and few with "fishy" agenda are backing this up. Sex-liberals and those in the "Libug" Society are laughing and shouting, go!go!go! (away-away na)
Simbahan at RH bill
Ito ay karugtong na sagot mula sa argumentong //pagtutol mo sa lahat ng kontraseptibo dahil sa relihiyon at moralidad.// ng ating katalakayang si Arm. (http://www.likhaan.org/content/rh-bill-philippines-full-text-reproductiv... )
What business does the Church have telling anyone what is morally permissible and impermissible?
Ang nasa itaas po ay katanungan ko rin, tulad ko at tulad ng nasa malayang talakayang ito ay mga former fertilized ovum. Sa aking paghahanap ng kasagutan at malalim na pag-iisip habang ako ay wala pang tulog ng dalawang araw sa Navotas Fish Port Complex Market 1 (isang taon na ang nakakalipas)kasama ko ang mga biktima ng korapsyon, maling pamamahala ng gobyerno at hindi pantay-pantay na pamamahagi ng yaman (syempre hindi kasama ang overpopulation) mga squatters kung tawagin sila. Isang former fertilized ovum ang sumagot nito:
“I have a right to my opinion if it is evident that no other opinion is supported by enough data to render mine less likely to be true. And the right to my opinion ends when someone puts forth an argument that turns out to be more than a mere opinion, but a conclusion based on true premises and sound reasoning.” Siya si Mr. Doug M
Sa pangkalahatan, isang opinyon lang ang sinasabing overpopulation = poverty base sa opisyal na siyentipikong pag-aaral at hindi kailangan painumin ng kontraseptibong pildoras ang mga kababaihang mahihirap na ang hatid ay “breast cancer” ayon din sa siyentipikong pag-aaral.

(masaya ako tuwing naaalala ko ang aking karanasan sa Market 1 at Market 3 ng Navotas Fish Port Complex. (part kasi ng trabaho ko ang maghanap ng supply ng isda at ang pagpapalinis nito - cost controller ng pribadong kumpanya.)
Sige, let's all support the
Sige, let's all support the RH bill. what Lila Rose has exposed already shows us that Planned Parenthood (Responsible Parenthood/Reproductive Health here in the Phils.) methods, strategies, services,and ideologies invites abuse. Let's make it happen so we learn the hard way. Solution to poverty and health care or maternal care issues, or other centuries old issue in this country is NOT to lessen the number of poor innocent children, but to lessen the number of CORRUPT and GREEDY politicians, businessmen, and "Leaders". The state needs to manage its people not lessen. read on Eugenics. It can disguise itself as responsible or planned parenthood.

Sampu ang magagandang idudulot ng RH bill base sa nakatala sa itaas, subalit kahit wala ang RH bill kaya itong mangyari kung ipatutupad ng maayos at popondohan ang mga existing laws natin.

I totally disagree on this RH bill.I'm a religious woman.I can't imagine if that bill is passed.The sacrament upon marrying was banished and the respect of each individual was affected.The marital sex is overcrowded and we are engaging in abortion.No fear in God and also to their parents.Is there peace on earth?So sad but true that we almost lose it.

LOL! Do you even know what
LOL! Do you even know what you're talking about? No offense! The go forth and multiply thing applied back in the days when the world was not populated!! Duh? Common sense! If your'e anti RH bIll why don't you go and help feed the hungry mouths of the poor children? Rather than whine and complaint about the RH Bill.. The RH bill has a lot of benefits than your super negativism.
I totally agree with you (and
I totally agree with you (and mind you I was also LOL when I was reading your comment). I am just wondering if these 'anti' RH bill enthusiasts have full knowledge of the bill and awareness of the actual situation of their beloved country. The Philippines' population is now 93,261,000 (July 2011 est.) ranking #12 in the countries with the highest population worldwide! Those who want to know how or the basis for this, google nyo! I strongly suggest these people to try to immerse themselves in the squatters area that is not hard to find in Manila, a very common site incidentally. And please, though I strongly agree on the 'its the attitude' thingy, a lot of us do not have this, this is why we are having these problems in the first place! Let's be humble to accept the fact that we need laws or bills, etc. to have a lesser chaotic country/world.
pro support RH BILL
we all know god says go to the world and multiply,and that's also a law, we all know we can't follow the rules of god.because we are not perfect. we love to treasure life that god given to us. the problem is this............
=> we all know the human being is quite wide spreading and it cause to overpopulation.. don't tell me you don't know that? many people died because of poverty lack of food, money, shelter, clothes and everything that human being needs... RH BILL can prevent to lesser our population.. RH BILL is not way of aborting of...hmmm.... it only for avoiding of being pregnant... we all know that sex is a habit to other people...
....are you really sure that
....are you really sure that overpopulated na ang mundo or let's say our dearly beloved philippines to be exact??..what statistical support can you gave regarding such claim that overpopoulated na tayo??
many Filipinos didn't
many Filipinos didn't understand that statement. ...Mapagparami" that is coupled with responsibility to raise our child well. It is a matter of educating them and changing their perspective in life. Maraming namamatay??? don't blame it to poverty we have enoughed resources, what is the problem is we are not using it properly... Kung mahal natin ang mahihirap, palitan ang sistema wag natin clang lalong ilubog sa putikan. Kung sana habang lalong yumayaman tayo mas nagiging generosity tayo at tumutulong sa kapwa hindi lang sa pagbibigay ngsahod kundi pati na rin sa tamang kaugalian at pamumuhay.Wala sana tayong problema. But let us admit it,marami kasi sa atin mas gusto pang gastusan ang isang imported na aso kaysa tulungan ang isang batang pagalagala sa kalye. I hope you got my point. This is all about behavior and channelin to proper perspectiuve in life and going back to the basic of good values.
Exactly!
Exactly! RH Bill is NOT the SOLUTION of the social problems of the Philippines. Its every Filipino's LOVE to one another that really matters.
I LOVE the Filipinos. I LOVE Life. And most of all, I LOVE GOD.
anti
yes!! we treasure the life god gave us,using contraceptives cannot lessen the populations instead it can control.. were here to enjoy life, to have family,.we have some ways in controlling the population, by not using the contraceptives, just by controlling ourselves in doing that matter , think before you do something, disciplined in every individual,knowing our limitations,and applying what we've learn. that's a very simple. .
the contraceptives are not hundred percent sure, because it has side effects in our body too. that's why i am not agree with rh bill.
Why don't you say that to the
Why don't you say that to the majority of the Filipinos? If your'e anti RH Bill what can you do to help the growing population of the Philippines? Duh! With the RH bill lots of filipinos will have the knowledge on what they can do to control their uncontrolled pregnancies! The RH bill proposes a lot of benefits. If you keep whining and complaining about the RH bill, why don't you help those poor people feed their children?? You don't do anything and just complaint.. So stop whining!
pag-sure oy!
pag-sure oy!

//many people died because of poverty lack of food, money, shelter, clothes and everything that human being needs... RH BILL can prevent to lesser our population..//
Mali. Marami pong namamatay hindi dahil sa sobrang dami ng tao(Iyan kasi ang ipinapakita ng naglalayong isabatas ang RH bill ang mukha ng kahirapan dulot ng siksikang lungsod)
lack of food, money, shelter, clothes and everything that human being needs ay dulot ng Korapsyon, di pantay-pantay na pamamahagi, maling pamamahala ng gobyerno atbp. hindi kasama sa binabanggit ang overpopulation ang dulot ng kahirapan base sa mga pag-aaral ng mga eksperto.
Marami o Kaunti man tayo, hanggat may korapsyon o sa madaling salita makasariling mentalidad kahirapan pa rin ang kauuwian natin.

Thank you, this helps!
Thanks for compiling this, I will circulate in our parish, people need to be informed about the misleading lies being spread by the selfish people oppsing the bill. They are only thinking about their own interests, not the plight of the millions of poor suffering families, especially Filipina mothers out there.
God Bless!
Thanks for sharing

Can you cite concrete examples???
I have been researching on the points of RH bill both anti and pro. I noticed that the arguments of Pro are more platonic. I am not convinced why they don't want this bill. The reasoning is shallow. I think they need to catch up, we are now in the 21st century and yet they think like they are still in the dark ages. Sabagay mga Prayle pa ang makapangyarihan nun.

Can't those ten good reasons
Can't those ten good reasons be implemented even without an RH bill? I'm sure there's some other way - a better way? People just have to think harder I suppose.
But I understand that the RHB has to smell good, like a perfume to cover the stench. These "ten good reasons" sure does smell good.
okey ka lang???
cge nga...do u think rh bill will be introduce if there are still ways to solve our country's problem...well im not talking HERE with one problem...those family planning methods;The natural one and those sex education info were already introduced years ago but until now...no changes...no improvements...open your eyes...face reality..yes the rh bill has disavantages but it's advantages are overflowing....have you read the whole rh bill info both the positive and negative ones???well i did....i'm a catholic also but the rh bill is not for the church...it's for the people... poor people...for our country...well....this is only my opinion...you have yours to keep....i'm not being immoral here...I'M JUST BEING PRACTICAL....
Hmm. Practical! A, hindi
Hmm. Practical! A, hindi lahat ng taong practical ay immoral. Siyempre, alangan na mang for reasons of being practical mo'y maging immoral ka. Pero alin kaya dito ang moral:
Under normal condition, sexual intercourse is supposed to be done as an act-result of man and woman's union bound together in love. Thus, man and woman terms is supposed to be, "Let us make a good birth spacing hon by strictly observing periods that are safe from pregnancy.Anyway, we can still be doing it in no less than 7 times in a month". O ganito kaya, "Ano ba yang control-control na yan! Bakit pa? May pills, may condoms at ano pa mang pwedeng gamitin natin para di ka mabuntis!"
Yong isa mi tonong konting sakripisyo at tila naaayon sa ethics ni Jesus Christ kung Christian ka. Yong isa practical at medyo galing sa linya nong ethics of he who is the opposite of Christ. Kung ikaw ang pagpipiliin, saan ka kaya?
Sabihin mo naman rh bill is not only about family planning but health. Problema mas marami ang di nakakapag-control at karamiha'y napakatigas ng ulo, hirap masyado i-educate. Kung wala tayong concern sa kanila sabihin nating, "Problema na nila yon, tira kasi sila nang tira at walang control sa mga sarili.." At dahil concern tayo kaya turuan natin papaano tira nang tira pero safe, kaya hayon rh bill tayo nang rh bill. Kaibigan, alam mong wala nang mas gagaling pa sa wastong paggamit ng isip at puson dyan sana manggagaling pundasyon. Sa gayon wala kang iisipin na kahit na ano pa mang side effect(s).
Kaibigan, pag sinabi nating maraming-marami ang di nakakapag-control. Mali! Dahil lahat tayo (yong normal) ay capable of controlling, otherwise basta ka na lang uuwi sa bahay o hahanap ng mapagbuntunan. Di lang yon. Pag sinabi nating maraming-marami ang hirap turuan at masyadong matitigas ang ulo, mga mangmang dahil mahihirap kaya gawa na lang tayo ng batas na
makatulong sa kanila, wala na yata halos kaibahan sa argumentong maraming-marami ang naghu-jueteng kaya gawan na tayo ng batas para dyan! O worst when we say,maraming-marami ang mga kawatan kaya i-legalize na natin ang kawat.
Anyway, next on line in demon's agenda are, same sex marriage, divorce..He is laughing out loud now with the gestures of his instrumentalities who are all out for rh bill to be approved. As P-noy said, it's almost done. Tawa ka na nga rin lang ng malakas
WOW! THIS IS ANOTHER FUNNY
WOW! THIS IS ANOTHER FUNNY OPINION! COME'ON! TIRA SILA NG TIRA? IKAW TIRA KA LANG NG TIRA BUT YOUR NOT AMKING ANY POINT! YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR FELLOW FILIPINOS! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPPOSE! WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST? IT DOESN'T EVEN MATTER BECAUSE YOU ARE SELFISH AND YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ABOUT THEM! IT RRALLY BOTHERS ME, THAT YOU BLAME THEM!

Nood tayo pre!
Alin ba ang FUNNY yong
Alin ba ang FUNNY yong assuming ka o yong logical?Ang assuming ay ganito ang nasa isip:
1.Maraming-marami daw sa pinoy nahihirapang controlin ang sarili pagdating sa sex;
2.Maraming-marami sa pinoy mangmang pagdating sa kaalamang sex and reproduction;
3.Maraming-marami daw sa pinoy ang di daw dilat sa katotohanang overpopulated na ang pinas; and
4.Etc., etc., and etc. pa
MALI! Dahil ang may sobrang libug lang sa katawan ang di nakakapag-control
MALI! Dahil ang isyung ito ay considered urgent na in the 70's kaya karamihan sa pinoy ay may alam na tungkol dito
MALI! Dahil ang overpopulated lang tignan ay yong mga lugar lang tinatawag ng mga sociologists na highly urbanized cities.kaya kung ang metro manila ay thickly populated parang illogical yatang sabihin mong overpopulated na'ang pinas.Philippines is not metro manila.Wala pa ngang nakatira sa babuyan at spratly islands(joke)
maybe you are a catholic in
maybe you are a catholic in name but not in faith.
read and live the teaching of the church.
maybe you are a catholic in
paano ba ang sinasabi nyong "live in teaching of chruch"? yung bang lahat na sabihin ng mga Pari ang susundin mo? yung mga Pari na nagsasabi na lahat ng supporters ng RH bill ay immoral.. well, don't talk about immorality, bcoz all of us knows that many from their ranks committed immoral sin, you want me to enumerate? Vatican spents billions of dollars trying to settle the cases of child abuse and many other sexual cases.
Now, who will tell me who is immoral and who is not?
Anti RH bill people is calling us Pro's as "immoral" people. who are these Anti RH to judge those who support the bill??? are they clean people??? Then let me say this, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
I am a Christian, and I am living my life base on teaching of God.. not by Priest.
Are you not? Please have this
Are you not? Please have this in your mind that it's not about the church, it's not about the priests or the pastors but it's about individual conviction. To be on the side of what is moral or otherwise is an individual choice. To lived-in or not what one proclaimed is in individual's sound discretion as a rational being. Humanity in general is immoral-prone as everyone is vulnerable to sin, no one is excused whether one is a pastor or a priest. When one says, it's immoral to take contraceptive medicines even if proclaimed by the proposed RHB as essential medicines, it must be based on his belief and conviction that no one(not even the greatest scientist) can supposedly claimed authority to say when life begins because no one except God knows on whether or not it is moral to take contraceptive medicines a day or two or many days before implantation because rational minds would assert that the process involving the union of sperm and egg cell is in itself a life-developing process and thus, any negating act must be evil. It is God and not any of the scientist in the field of medicine placed human body order to both man and woman. For woman, it is precisely God who placed-in woman's necessary cycle i.e menstruation and the so called fertile and non-fertile periods.(Can scientist invent MENSTRUATION?) All these are supposedly had its own purpose man and woman including you and me to make use.(it is more than normal if man and woman are into sexual intercourse during woman's "red" period!) The virtue of self-control is not even a Christian by origin, it was lifetime battle cry of the great Greek triumvirates; Socrates, Plato and Aristotle
Using man's intellect, he can make use of the woman's cycle in view of pregnancy. The problem is: Satan said, "The idea of self-control entails sacrifice and can only be possible to educated individuals, for those who are not esp the poor ones, this is very hard! So why suffer when you can have sexual intercourse with anyone you like at any time you want safe from pregnancy with the use of condoms, contraceptive pills and others? and safe as well from STD with the use of condoms!"
By the way, one need not be a pastor or a priest for him to ponder on what is good and what is evil, on what is moral and what is immoral.One has to be guided only with the thoughts that immoral cannot be made moral because it is legal, nor immoral can be made moral because it seemed to be everyone is doing it or practicing it. In contrast, moral shall be moral even if it seemed to be only few or some is religiously doing it.
If you really had a morally upright mind and heart with an equally upright conscience, you should take this as a challenge i.e you and my moral duty to stand and to teach if necessary to those whose minds are now conditioned and those about to be conditioned that taking contraceptive medicines is not immoral so long as the period of using is not after the period of implantation or fertilization as the science of medicine may proclaimed
Maling Pananaw.
Maganda ang iyong obserbasyon.

If you agree that these ten good reasons can be implemented with the RH bill, then why are you against it? And why didn't you cite your reasons against it? If you are SURE there is some other way - a better way -- then you should be able to think of it, if you think harder.
Some are against the RH Bill simply because they have been conditioned to think a certain way. There are so many others -- women and children -- who would greatly benefit from the RH Bill but are prevented because some find the mere idea of an RH Bill which would discuss sexuality, reproductive health and responsibility, uncomfortable. For shame.
"Para ma-attain desired
"Para ma-attain desired number of children kailangan konting dsisiplina, konting sakripisyo iwas sex muna lalo't wala sa safe period and babae". Konting sakripisyo alinsunod sa turo ni Hesus.
"Para wag magkasakit nang sexually transmitted disease wag sisiping nang kani-kanino. Konting sakripisyo at siguruhing makipag-sex lang sa taong mahal mo kung maari." Ito ay naayon din sa turo ni Hesus.
"Bakit kailangang pigilan ang libug ng katawan, bakit pigilan ang sarap na dulot ng pagsisiping kung may condoms, pills at iba pang artificial contraceptives na magagamit upang maiwasan ang pagbubuntis"? "Bakit pa kailangan magsasakripisyo?"- Kaninong turo kaya ito?
"Bakit kailangang magpipigil kung pwede namang pagbigyan anu mang oras at nino man ang libug ng katawan nang hindi kailangang matakot sa sexually transmitted disease dahil may condoms naman?" Kaninong turo kaya ito?
Si Satanas ay eksperto pagdating sa usaping comfort, convenience and pleasure.
NB: All concerns in the cited 10 reasons can be addressed even without rh bill. Ang kailangan lang tapat na pagtutupad sa katungkulan at tapat na paggamit sa pondong inilalaan
Education is the priority
Our education system is a mess. Adding sex education will further mess it up. The result is another mess - SEX. Give TOP PRIORITY for top of the class education system then we will have growth and development.
Our resources will not be enough even with a small population. Therefore, it is now (when our population is big) the time our education system is made a priority program for growth and development. Success in our education program during this time will ensure growth and development for many decades in the future.
Our population is a resource. Why then reduce it? We have to nurture this resource. Let us not take this for granted by not providing the education it deserves. If we succeed is reducing our population then we will have a small and ignorant population.
EDUCATION and FOOD PRODUCTION is the priority.
Dont you think that the Rh
Dont you think that the Rh bill itself is an education? think about it :)
Yeah, we'll really learn that
Yeah, we'll really learn that it's NOT the solution to Poverty or any problem in this God forsaken country
Human resource can only be
Human resource can only be achieve if their is adequate resource from the economy to support their education. Keep in mind of the capacity. If a shortage of economic supply exists then we cannot pursue education for poor children. Therefore we should first control by means of prevention of unwanted births, then we can focus on individual development. Philippines has been no. 5 on the largest number of street children worldwide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_children). We cannot even address their concerns before. How much we will be able to in the future.
reaction:
There are so many things going on in the country that needs further attention. One of which is Education. But we should also focus our energy towards health development. I think adding sex education will not mess up the curriculum. Sex ducation doesnt teach about sexual position, pornography itself...it promotes awareness of ones sexuality and more than anything else being responsible for all our actions.
Population is a source it is true...for progress...but its also a source of poverty in itself. I am sure it is not remote story of a husband and wife in a very low income rate with 6 or 5 children. Where do you find those children? Do they eat well like you and me? Do they go to school like you and me? Do they have decent life like you and me? Indeed we need to protect certain aspect of life like that.
Population for progress...Philippines doesnt even have a law agaisnt discrimination. there is a big difference betwee blue and white collar job, when in fact there shouldnt be a barier between them. People shouldnt be discrminated because of their social status. In your own street or community, have you studied how many people work and study over those people who dont. The country is small yet a lot of people are blinded by certain issues and not facing reality.
If RH Bill will at least help in reducing population so be it.
A foreigner no less
A foreigner no less has provided more sense on this issue. The more that we should keep an open mind on this critical issue we are facing.
