Reflection About Rh Bill
Reproductive Health Bill
The Reproductive Health Bill, popularly known as the RH Bill, is a Philippine bill aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. 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.

RH Bill is one of the hottest issues in our country. At first, I really don’t know what is it for? Then after so many headlines I’ve understand what is it all about. With my age, I think I did not fully understand if it is really good or bad. I have so many thoughts in my mind but as I understand, the first thing that comes out in my mind is that it is in contradiction with the church in the way that sex is means of reproducing or making babies and its God’s gift to us and we should respect it for it is a blessing and He gave that for us to use it. Although it is not necessarily means that we cannot enhance our race if we have RH bill but what I am thinking is that what are those effects that might happen to every individual like having respect to every women. Make sense. If RH bill will allow the legal use of contraceptives like condoms and modern family planning, think of the possible things that might happen to every women like by using IUDs that might put individual at risk and by using condoms and introducing teens for sex education , it will only open the maliciousness of the children. Another thing is why the government should spend a

Another thing is why the government should spend a big money for those condoms instead of helping many poor Filipinos. They will only teach many them to be sex centered. Just like nowadays there is increasing rate of liberated Filipinos and for me RH bill will not solve that problem it will just increase the HIV and STD victims. Another thing is, Sex without marriage is not permitted by the church so what will happen if we will have RH Bill everybody will think that its ok to have sex to anybody. For the government, why not think for a better idea? Strengthen the church. Help every Filipino to have strong faith and focus their mind to God and by that they will be stopped for being sinful. So based on my reaction to this matter i guess you have already guessed if I am Pro or anti this bill. On top of these, for me, RH BILL will just destroy the value of family life and tradition close to the hearts of every Filipinos.

    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 Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2011, popularly known as the RH Bill, is a Philippine bill aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. According to the Explanatory Note of the Bill, the main concern of the Bill is to control population growth through family planning, including both the natural and artificial contraception methods; hence, the Bill will allow citizens’ access to contraceptives and justify that such act is not against the law.…

    The most ethical argument among Lagman, Santiago, Villegas and Garcia is Garcia's. Although she presented her stands on the issue using her personal view as a mother, she was able to convey her consequentialist stand. According to her, “right to reproductive health” does not just boil down to the contraceptives and other artificial family planning devices that the government would distribute when the RH Bill would be passed. Also, she mentioned using an anecdote about her friend that making contraceptive pills that can enhance a woman’s skin and such promotes a mentality of “coolness” in the youth. This means that although the RH Bill does not promote to the youth the use of these pills, this exactly becomes the case. Another argument she presented was the meaning of “right to freedom of choice.” Freedom is still subjective to the consequences or the effects of our actions, and, thus, should not be exploited. She cited the RH Bill’s goal of “protecting women’s rights.” The rights promoted by the RH Bill are not the same rights that are more important for more women which could bring a more “fruitful love.” The highlight of her arguments was the one about contraceptives and how they do more harm than help. She also addresses the issue of sex education through saying that it is the duty of the parents to educate and guide their children about the matter. All in all, Garcia has presented her premises against the RH Bill through discussing the unethical consequences if the bill was ever to become a law.…

    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…

    This particular Law is a vital factor for the complete employment of the Philippine government’s widespread health care policy, which aims to reduce deaths due to pregnancy or giving birth, and improve overall reproductive health of the Filipinos. According to the United Nations Population Fund (2009), and the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (2012), “More mothers die from childbirth due to the poor implementation of modern family planning methods, bad public health service, and more.” The revolutionary RH Law, as proclaimed by Albay Representative Edcel Lagman, the principal author of the Bill, will not have immediate results. It is said that even with much work and plenty of funds, for the free contraceptives, the Law’s results may approximately initiate after five years. Even the authors of the Bill, now a Law, sadly announced that the RH Law is not perfect; much improvement and revision is still taking place. With the implementation of this Law, the government hopes to see great changes, especially on our public and reproductive health. As it was mentioned before, these changes include the improved access to information, facilities and services, increased stability and sustainability of health policy across national and local government. Hopefully, with their…

    The RH bill became controversial because of the contradicting opinions of different sectors, people and the government and including the church. Some said that it is good for our country because it can decrease the continuous growth of population of our country or likewise to lessen the number of people who experience poverty in our country. But as I said some people do not agree with this bill especially the church people, the CBCP in particular, they said that using contraceptives are just like killing babies or preventing life or simply anti-life and that against the law in our church. So, we have this “Pro-RH bill” and the “Anti-RH bill” groups.…

    When is the real date or time that RH bill is introduced to our country? According to the Senate Policy Brief titled "Promoting Reproductive Health", the history of reproductive health in the Philippines dates back to 1967 when leaders of 12 countries including the Philippines' Ferdinand Marcos signed the Declaration on Population. The Philippines agreed that the population problem should be considered as the principal element for long-term economic development. Thus, the Population Commission was created to push for a lower family size norm and provide information and services to lower fertility rates.…

    Rh Bill Opinion

    Many thought that the bill would never pass, because the country has been divided in its stand; the church, particularly the Roman Catholics are too strong and are very emphatic in their opposition about the said issue. However, pro RH bill supporters have expressed and fought for their thoughts and have found an ally in President Noynoy Aquino, who took office as President of the Philippine Republic in 2010. The Reproductive Health Bill will have its wide implications for improving the health and lives of women throughout the country. After researching about this bill, I have learned about the many advantages that will help the Filipinos especially the youth in uplifting their social and moral values. Contrary to what other people believed, I also support the pro RH Bill because from my point of view, it provides many advantages. I would like to raise my opinion on the following issues which I have researched extensively regarding the RH Bill:…
