What RH Bill is all about?

The Reproductive Health bill, or popularly known as RH bill, is the Philippine Bill which aims to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. It is a way of helping people to be more advance, well prepared, and to widen up each and every individuals mind setting about our society now a days.
There is this top agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health care, there is great debate on its proposal that taxpayer and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as “brith control pills”(BCPs) and IUDs, and as the government continue campaigning to broadcast a good information and effect on its use through health care centers nationwide.
Everyone has been talking about these RH bills, for some agreed and some don’t. I could say that in some part of each individuals, RH Bills may help and it may bring into some point also that it may trigger to do such thing that will ruin someone’s life. But as the saying goes that “every little thing that is too much is not good.” So, it depends on how we’re going to take it and treat it as long as we are only motivated to do good and focus only to what could bring us healthy and happy life then I think it will help. Our country is facing again a very serious issue which is the RH Bill that affects our moral values and its culture. This is really a serious issue and could really change our life as a Filipino. Most of us Filipinos are very naïve about this and most probably has no idea of what possible effects that could destroy our true Filipino morality with the concern of reproduction and sex. And I strongly opposed this bill, and so with the few conservative Filipinos, but those whose minds were twisted by only on politics and business, they thought that reduce poverty through population control.
If you are the kind of person who considered religion and morality as just

    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…

    The latest version of the RH Bill2 does not refer to any specific problem related to demography. It does not mention at all the typical justification of population-control-to-eradicate-poverty. This version3 refers to reproductive health per se. The Philippines, according to this Bill, needs a law on reproductive health. By implication, it says that the Philippines does not have any law that addresses the reproductive health needs, an implication that is incorrect since there are already laws that address many of the provisions of the Bill.4…

    The road for passing the RH Law was not easy. Strong opposition coming from the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines has long delayed the passage of the law. Way back then, legislators from Congress and Senate under the administration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo were dominated by conservative Anti-RH representatives. A few like Representatives Edcel Lagman and Janette Loreto-Garin in Congress and Senators Pia Cayetano and Miriam Defensor-Santiago have continued the fight despite of the overwhelming hostility of their peers to the RH Bill. Mrs. Macapagal-Arroyo herself promoted an abstinence-only program during her 9-year tenure as president.…

    The bill is national in scope, comprehensive, rights-based and provides adequate funding to the population program. It is a departure from the present setup in which the provision for reproductive health services is devolved to local government units, and consequently, subjected to the varying strategies of local government executives and suffers from a dearth of funding. The reproductive health (RH) bill promotes information on and access to both natural and modern family planning methods, which are medically safe and legally permissible. It assures an enabling environment where women and couples have the freedom of informed choice on the mode of family planning they want to adopt based on their needs, personal convictions and religious beliefs.…

    The RH Bill will put Filipinos at risk of extinction, because, at its very core, the RH Bill is an extension of a secret, global conspiracy – a western attempt – to implement principles of eugenics on unsuspecting, inferior populations in order to exclude them from the human evolutionary process, at the end of which would, at the apex, summon forth THE MASTER RACE. Anyone who failed to see this after the lecture is ignorant. I advise him or her to do his or her research, better yet, do some soul-searching to discover the real truth, because the truth is in our hearts, we just have to listen to it.…
