The Reproductive Health Law
David jhon mad'z
AB POLSCI II-A Reproductive Health Law today is popularly known as the RH LAW, a Philippine law that aims to guarantee methods and information for universal access on birth control and maternal care. It allows the usage of different contraception methods to prevent the multiplying population here in the country. That is why; the priests are not in favors of this because for them it is against the law of God. However, in my points of view, I thought at first that this argument is unnecessary for me to know. I thought that this is not needed and irrelevant for a student like me. But I now concede that I am really wrong. This law must be known to every person that resides here in the Philippines. This is about us. This law is something about our health and our country. For me I guess I’m pro RH law in a sense that it is the only way to help our country to reduce overcome population and I believe that the irresponsible parenthood is one of the main reasons why there is poverty. Maybe through responsible parenthood, we can decrease poverty and that is the mainstream of this concern. We can build a nation that can provide things for their family. A nation that can cope with the fast changing approach of the new century and can never be left out. Because of poverty, we are being pulled down to the ground because we can’t go with the flow of life. In addition, this law can serve as a good purpose for the married couples because this contributes more knowledge to their minds to have a good family planning scheme. We all know the demands sexually of the married couples, so by these, they can ensure that their family will not boost in number. Republic act 10354 section 2 state Declaration of Policy. – The State recognizes and guarantees the human rights of all persons including their right to equality and nondiscrimination of these rights, the right to sustainable human development, the right to health which includes reproductive health, the right to

    Over the past several years, there have been many attempts made to mend Queensland’s current laws surrounding abortion with the abortion legislation being regarded as confining and outdated.

Over the past years, concerns have risen regarding the fairness of the law and its failure to align with modern society values. These concerns warrant investigation, along with the evaluative discussion regarding the fairness and equability of the relevant guidelines and legislation in place in Queensland.…

    The harm that women could suffer from abortion was never really considered in the Roe v. Wade case. Abortion was viewed as being synonymous with good health, and the only harm to consider for women was not being allowed to have an abortion. The presumption that Roe consulted with a physician to gain medical guidance was important evidence leading the Court to believe it was an informed decision. “Assumptions about doctor-patient counseling were an important part of the Court’s rationale for extending constitutional privacy rights to abortion” (Adams, 2005, p.335). Roe used the burden of unwanted pregnancy as an argument, stating that the child would not be cared for because it is unwanted and that childcare would be taxing on the mother’s mental…

    Not only do women have to face this problem, but they also barely have rights to basic reproductive and abortion rights. For example, in January, our president, Donald Trump, signed signed a ban on federal money going to international groups that provide information on abortions. Many people reacted to this outrage, including author J.K. Rowling who said "Men making decisions about women's bodies," a phrase we hear time and time again.…

    For more than twenty years, 28 states have had some type of law designed to lower the cost of birth control and make it easier to get. Many states are now widening coverage to allow 12-month supplies at a time where they used to cover 3 months. This is a logical and reasonable improvement by eliminating trips to the doctor just for a prescription renewal.…

    I am not against RH bill, and I am not pro abortion, it’s just I want to teach people lesson on giving birth among children whom they can’t support and will be like others begging on the streets and in the end be one of the government dependents. But I am not allowing manipulations or tricks just to fool us around, just to crash moral issues and other objections. I still believe in the moral values our late Pres. Cory imbued to our present president today and will do what is good for our country with due respect and transparency to all Filipino…

    One of the biggest problems in society today is the arguments over reproductive rights. It is an issue that has been taken and used by members of the neo-conservative right in order to hijack the vote of citizens of faith. The difficulty of this issue is it is an easy knee-jerk reaction issue. No thought is needed, all a person hears is ‘killing babies’ and they suddenly become Republican. Little consideration is given to the mother, society, or the Bible these leaders supposedly take their inspiration from. I’d like to take a moment to show why it’s not a clear cut issue in the most basic argument used, the religious one.…

    Now in North Carolina, there are stricter restrictions on how and when women can get abortions. According to the Harold Sun. women will have to wait 24 hours before an abortion. Based on this similar law and impacts in other states, the restrictions would cut more than 27,000 abortions and result in about 2,900 additional births per year according to the fiscal analysts. I’m unaware of what the numbers are now but consequently, this will cost taxpayers 7 million a year, mostly because nearly half of the births would be funded by Medicaid, the health program for the poor. North Carolina had been one of 16 states that don’t require specialized counseling before an abortion.…
