Rh Bill
Is this bill really the answer to the uncontrolled growth and solution to our economic crisis? What are its effects that can help and harm us if the bill will be passed? Why is there no provision in the Reproductive Health Bill to educate women on the adverse effects of using artificial contraception, if the RH Bill promotes women's health? Is a child on a womb that detected to have a disease is needed to prevent from being born?

I observe that 10 Filipino women are dying every day from causes related to pregnancy and childbirth mostly from hemorrhage, hypertension and widespread infection; that the country has a maternal mortality rate of 162 deaths per 100, 000 live births; that we have an infant mortality rate of 24 deaths per 1,000 live births and that we have an under-five mortality rate of 32 deaths per 1,000 live births (from Senate Bill 40 and from the 2006 Family Planning Survey by the National Statistics Office and).

I observe that 473,400 cases of induced abortion were recorded in 2000. I observe the findings by The Young Adolescent and Sexuality Survey III that showed that 23% of people aged 15-24 years old are reported to have had pre-marital sex experiences and the findings by the National HIV/AIDS Registry of the DOH that the average number of HIV positive cases doubled to 20 cases per month in 2004 and 2005, 92% of Filipinos think that the ability to control fertility and plan a family is important and that government should provide budgetary support for modern methods of family planning. (from SB40)

The Philippines is facing a very serious issue that affects moral values and its culture. This is really a very serious issue and could really change the life of every Filipino, Issue according the Reproductive Health Bill.

It’s not the answer to the uncontrolled growth because some people who are taking Oral Contraceptive Pills failed, they can be pregnant without knowing early then if they continue taking Oral Contraceptive Pills they

    Many Filipino people tracked the past blazing issue on the passing of Reproductive Health Bill because of strong arguments between the government and the Catholic Church.

    Aside from the perennial problems of battling poverty and eradicating different epidemics, the 5th goal, improving maternal health, remains an underlooked but equally pressing concern in the country. In a 2011 report by the Department of Health (“Philippines ranks 48...”, 2010) , not only has the Philippines failed to improve the maternal mortality ratio (MMR), but the figure of mothers dying during childbirth has even ballooned, from 162 deaths in 100,000 live births in 2009, to 221 deaths in 100,000 live births in 2011.…

    HOST: In light of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Law or as most of us know it, the RH Bill, an abundance of organizations and groups claiming they are “pro-life” asserted that passing the bill may pave the way towards legalized abortion in the Philippines. As a country with deeply rooted Catholic beliefs, the Philippine government has always imposed a blanket ban on abortion, with absolutely no exceptions. Many Filipino citizens urge the government to liberalize the law and follow the footsteps of its more established fellow countries in the West. However, there are also quite a number of Filipinos who are all for staying conservative. Today, we have three people well-distinguished in their respective fields to help us understand more about abortion and why it should stay prohibited in the Philippines. We have DOCTOR, LAWYER, and PSYCHOLOGIST. Good morning/afternoon!…

    The article is all about the Reproductive Health Bill's worthiness. It is said here that this bill will require the government to fund the devices such as pills and IUD's that will be used in controlling the population. We all know that poverty is visible to big families. The government doesn't want this to happen anymore. That's why they are pushing this but, the Catholic Bishop's Council of the Philippines is not agreeing with this. They said that through this RH Bill many human beings will be killed and there will be abortion, more adultery, female impoverishment and the like.…

    Why is abortion a social problem today? I think why abortion is a social problem is for the fact that not everyone agrees with that and everyone puts in their prospective. So then everyone else does to which leads into making it a big problem. The act of seeking or obtaining an abortion is not a real issue today. The personal issue of the people in the position of seeking an abortion hasn't changed with the exception that these people don't have to do it on a criminal basis from unsafe, illegal sources. Personal issues of fear of discovery, regret, guilt (or lack thereof), and what this will mean to their future and future relationships has not changed overtime…

    Convinced that our country needs an aid for destitution and economic degeneration, many politicians propose the Reproductive Health Bill. They believe that this bill will improve Filipino’s quality of living thinking that our country is facing the problem of overpopulation. They attest that the said bill is neither anti-life nor anti-family, that contraceptives are not life threatening, and that the bill could provide a better community to live in. Well, I say, even though it has been an established fact that our country Philippines is the 12th most populous country in the world, it does not necessarily mean that RH Bill is the right answer for the said problem.…
