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

    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 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…

    Evolution is defined as a slow and steady change in the same species to help their survival. There were two theories on this type of evolution: Lamarck’s theory of acquired characteristics and Darwin theory on natural selection. Both scientists agree that evolution is caused by the need of survival. Natural selection is the process by which biological traits of an organism become less in common in a population over time. This process can even result in a different species. Polar bears have gone under a series of evolutionary changes over time to help them survive in conditions on the planet some such adaptations include larger paws, thicker white fur, extra fat to keep them warm and more recently they have developed polar bear type teeth. These…

    The options available for those dealing with infertility problems include artificial insemination, a surrogate mother, assisted reproductive technology; in vitro fertilization, zygote intrafallopian transfer, and gamete intrafallopian transfer. Each option is different from the other and each can be complex. Also, the options do not guarantee a resolution to infertility problems. Of the options listed, Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) encounters legal, ethical, and personal dilemmas. Many people choose to use ART because their attempts to have children on their own have proven to be impossible. Legal and ethical issues arise when the extra embryos that result from ART are put up for adoption or given to another woman. Women in countries…

    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.…

    FINAL ESSAY

    Born and raised in Los Angeles, I am a second generation Armenian immigrant. I consider my Armenian culture essential to my identity, and that has a lot to do with my upbringing. The Armenian population has always been a small minority across the globe and in order for us to maintain our race, we make a conscious effort to keep our culture alive close to our hearts. A key component that unites us as a race is our unique language of Armenian. We are fortunate enough to have maintained our spoken and written language for over two thousand years. In order to teach the language to new generations of Armenians who live in the diaspora here in Los Angeles, several Armenian private schools have been established throughout this city. I was lucky enough to attend this school from pre-school until high school graduation.For the fifteen years that I attended this institution, I had classes every day in both Armenian and English which focused on all aspects of speaking, reading, and writing. Armenian was the main language spoken in most of our households, so as children it was new and exciting to speak English with one another on the playground. Since Armenian was our native language, we spoke with a heavy English accent and mispronounced several words. However, as we continued developing our English speaking skills with each other and advanced in our curriculum, we were exposed to Social Sciences and Math, in which all classes were all taught in English. Speaking Armenian was now an hour of our day at school while the rest was focused on English. This is when I began to consider myself bilingual in Armenian and English. My parents were upset that I started speaking English at home, so speaking Armenian was still heavily emphasized within my family. Now that I attend a university constantly surrounded by non-Armenian speaking people and don’t learn Armenian language skills in class, I find myself only speaking English. However, I believe that my…

    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 Reproductive Health bills, popularly known as the RH Bill, are Philippine bills aiming to guarantee universal access to methods and information on birth control and maternal care. The bills have become the center of a contentious national debate. There are presently two bills with the same goals: House Bill No. 4244 or An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development, and For Other Purposes introduced by Albay 1st district Representative Edcel Lagman, and Senate Bill No. 2378 or An Act Providing For a National Policy on Reproductive Health and Population and Development introduced by Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago.…

    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…
