A Stand Against Rh Bill
A Stand Against the RH Bill * Jesse Chris Basco

Our country, the Philippines is an archipelago with 7,107 islands. When you look at the world map we seem to just occupy a small space, but it is home to over 90 million Filipinos, so yes we are an overpopulated nation. Our government thought that the excessive growth in the number of the Filipinos is the cause of our poverty. So they thought of controlling the growth of our population through the Reproductive Health Bill. But do you know that RH Bill aims to legalize the use of contraceptives in family planning and the most controversial part of it is to legalize abortion.
As a Catholic dominated nation, we Filipinos know that this law is against the Church’s teachings. The Church teaches us to respect life, and it is clear that this RH Bill is violating life, violating the will of God. It is violating the rights of those innocent children to live, their right to see what we see, to experience what we have, to know how beautiful life is.
Stated in our Constitution, Article III, the Bill of Rights; that no person shall be deprived of life, of liberty, and property without the due process of law. Clearly we will violate our own laws if we permit ourselves to be defiled by the deception of the devil. Its objective, which is to end hunger and poverty indeed is good, but the ways and the means itself is immoral. It is against our laws, against the Church’s teachings and principles. It is against Christian Morality, it is against God, the sovereign Author of life.
Would you accept seeing condoms distributed to your parents, to your brothers and sisters, or even to your younger siblings? There is a budget cut in education, but the government will allocate 3 billion pesos for condoms to be distributed everywhere. Sex education will be taught to Grade 5 students, and I’m afraid they will end up committing fornication out of curiosity.
This bill encourages immorality in our society, then therefore it is evil. Join

    Is our society’s strict adherence to religious freedoms costing the lives of innocent children? The Christian Science Church rely on the Establishment Clause and The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment as granting themselves and their children exemption from medical intervention. But because of their insistence in relying solely on prayer for the healing their sick children, approximately one child a month in the U.S. is known to die from an illness that would have been curable had they had medical attention. 1 Religious liberties of parents might protect their beliefs, but it should not protect their conduct of denying the rights of a child to his or her life.…

    For years there has been the never-ending controversial issue regarding condom being distributed within the United States high schools. January 8, 1994, Anna Quindlen publishes her article, “A Pyrrhic Victory,” in the New York Times, where she states that not allowing condoms to be distributed in high schools is self-defeating, harmful to students, and inconvenient for parents.

    First things first. Advocates of condom distribution say that kids are going to have sex, that try as we might we can’t stop them. Therefore they need protection. Hence, condoms. Well, hold on a minute. Just whose notion is it that “kids are going to do it anyway, you can’t stop them”? Why limit the application of that brilliant logic to sexual activity? Let’s just admit that kids are going to do drugs and distribute safe, untainted drugs every morning in home room. Kids are going to smoke, too, we can’t stop them, so let’s provide packs of low-tar cigarettes to the students for their after-sex smoke. Kids are going to get guns and shoot them, you can’t stop them, so let’s make sure that teachers have bulletproof vests. I mean, come on! If we are really concerned about safe sex, why stop at condoms? Let’s convert study halls to Safe Sex Centers where students can go to actually have sex on nice double beds with clean sheets under the watchful and approving eye of the school nurse, who will be on hand to demonstrate, along with the principal, just how to use a condom. Or even better: If kids are going to have sex, let’s put disease-free hookers in these Safe Sex Centers. Hey, if safe sex is the objective, why compromise our standards?…

    Every year the population in Texas is steadily growing. One social issue that continues to challenge Texas residents is Teen Pregnancy. According to the Texas Department of Health, "every ten minutes a Texas teen becomes pregnant." Because of those statistics Texas has held one of the highest rates of teen pregnancy in the United States. Which raises the question, Should condoms be available to teens in Texas high schools? Some parents and educators suggest that providing condoms in Texas high schools is condoning sexual behavior. Others believe that teens should have access to condoms to help protect their sexual health and an unwanted pregnancy. After considering both sides of the issues I strongly suggest that condoms be available for teens in Texas high schools so they are properly equipped to have safe sex and to decrease the rates of unwanted teen pregnancy and teens contracting STD's or HIV.…

    According to the Center for Disease Control, there are approximately nineteen million new cases of sexually transmitted diseases reported every year. While this number seems astounding, it is more surprising that nearly half of those instances occur in the 15-25 year age group. Furthermore, nearly 300,000 unplanned teenage pregnancies arise mostly because of poor or no condom use (Ventura 53). Condom use has proven to be a very effective method to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, if condoms are used properly. Currently, there is much debate being stirred up as to whether or not condoms should be distributed in public school systems. While many look at the statistics in shock, and openly embrace the idea of offering free contraception to teenagers, there is a strong opposition as well. Those who stand against condom distribution believe that condom distribution is a way of promoting sexual activity, and believe in the teaching of abstinence-only education in the schools. The habits taught and promoted during teen years will be long lasting. Therefore, with proper education and the distribution of free contraception, there will be prevention of poor sexual behavior in that particular age group and, over time, in older age groups as well.…

    Many students are against condoms in school due to embarrassment, even though the embarrassing situation could help save their lives and so many others.
