Now that the President has declared that RH BILL will be prioritized it is time to stand up for those who believe that the said bill should not passed. I personally do not agree with the bill even if they changed some of the provisions on the said bill. No matter what even if it is based on scientific truth as what others are saying I believe that this is a non-sense bill. Preventing unwanted pregnancy and educating everyone about contraceptives doesn’t help us escape poverty. Catholics or non-Catholics we all believe in the value of life and the sanctity of marriage. Opposing to the said bill doesn’t mean that you are a NOT a free thinker. They said that Filipinos are copy cats and that Catholics are copy-cats of other Catholic countries and those countries have reproductive health bills and divorce. Well, I cannot say NO to that but even if we are Catholics same as those other countries it doesn’t mean that we should also copy what they are doing even if we think it is wrong. There are lot of things that our government should prioritize why focus on reproductive health? To avoid unwanted pregnancy?, Protection from sexually transmitted disease? hmmm… that made me wonder because last time I saw on TV that there are cases of unwanted pregnancy in the US and it involves teenagers given that they have reproductive health bill. Last time I saw in iWitness’s “KALAM” they featured a poor family they have 6 kids and the father is a fisherman. Sometimes he can’t get anything so he won’t have any fish to sell. Now, they have six kids and let’s say because of reproductive health instead of having six kids they had only two. Do you think it will change anything?
