Why Hate Rh Bill?
Garcia, Ernell N. Ms. Maree Angeline Dalmacio Reyes
BCR 2-1 Argumentation and Debate
Why Hate the RH Bill?
“Everything is a choice. And everyone has a choice.”
Senate Bill 2865 or popularly known as the Reproductive Health Bill (RH Bill) has been a popular argument and a motion on a debate. Why do we have to talk about this? Why should it be passed?
RH Bill tackles about usage of condoms, availability of contraceptive medicines, sex education, and family planning. It is a choice that our government is giving us. It is not a privilege to choose. It is our right. The Catholic Church has been talking about this and why this bill should not be passed. They are arguing that this promotes the artificial way of family planning without realizing that it is the right of the people to choose whether to do it or to practice the natural way. They keep on insisting that the usage of condoms can invoke people to have more sex and practice pre-marital sex, whereas the sex education takes place. Sex education is not a direct instruction on how to do sex, but it is information on what sex are, pros and cons of engaging into it or other matters alike. They also said that the availability of contraceptives may trigger the women to abort a child. But this is not the RH Bill is all about. We are against abortion but we are fighting for a choice, for a health care, for a better future. This is a basic need, especially for the women for they are the ones who get pregnant.
Based on the latest statistics of UNAIDS on Global AIDS Epidemic, Philippines was one of just nine countries reported of having a 25 percent increase rate in HIV/AIDS cases from 2001 to 2011. This is very alarming. Health authorities attribute the rising cases to low usage of condoms. This case clearly states that our nation is in need of a law that shall support the

    Argumentative Essay: Defund Planned Parenthood

    Currently, abortions are not publicly funded, and it is illegal for Planned Parenthood to use federal money for an abortion. This means that this law is not meant for tax payer’s money to stop paying money for abortions, it means that this bill is a way for some people to indirectly stop women from being able to have the option of choosing. This shortsighted action is not only goes against the intentions of the laws passed to give women the right to chose what they can do with their bodies, but will greatly affect the other services that Planned Parenthood provide.…

    Abortion, Right and Wrong by Rachel Richardson Smith

    In reality, the issue is just not about abortion. Personally, I am a supporter of the controversial RH bill because I believe that it would be advantageous to our nation in the long run; however, I am against abortion. Ironic isn’t it?

    Philippine Rh (Reproductive Health) Bill: a Matter of Public Opinion

    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.…

    Now, RH Bill is not RH Bill anymore it is an absolute form of law, a law that implemented as barrier of man’s fast growing population. RH Law taught people to use contraceptives like, condoms, IUDS, ligetions, pills and others. It’s not only educating people to use these contraceptions, but as well as implementing this as natural and moral part of human sexual issues. RH Law also aimed to change the conservative minds of others, from thinking that by using contraceptives is inhuman and evil works.…

    Rh Bill; Its Implication

    With the advent of this bill, there are questions that have to be answered. First, is it not a superfluity of already existing laws that contained the same provisions incorporated to the aforementioned bill? Second, are the provisions of the rh bill not in conflict with the constitution? Third, does it concern itself with morality, or are the provisions in that law anchored in moral precepts? Fourth, what are the possible implications of rh bill once this has been enacted into a law or does it not attack an individual who has a firm allegiance to his/her religious convictions? Sixth, is it scientifically and empirically verifiable that the use of condoms, pills, or other form of contraceptives not detrimental to the health of the one using it in the sexual act? Lastly, does it respect the human life?…

    Rh Bil

    Pro, or Anti? The question has been running through the country over and over for years now, and there has been no definite answer as to the bill should be abolished or not. We all know that people keep having sex even if they know it's a sin and that's a fact. Today’s generation doesn’t really care about morals anymore. I mean, since they’re all doing it already and it seems like there’s no stopping, might as well take advantage of it. The bill is more like giving them the ideas of how and what the consequences will be if they're not careful. The RH Bill isn’t really an advocacy of premarital sex, it’s a fight against sexual ignorance. But whether the bill becomes a law or not, it’s all a matter of an individual’s…

    Rh Bill

    There are some people who agrees with RH Bill because as we all know, the use of contraceptive will make us unfertile; and if a woman is unfertile, it will not become pregnant. Let us all be open-minded and say that nowadays, teens are engaging in sexual activities. Teens are truly engaging with sex. Most of them who engages with sex will be pregnant. If they are still not that responsible enough to have a child, they have an option to abort the child or not; if not, then the couple will most likely suffer in having an early marriage.…

    True Cowards

    Those who are in the opposition pointed out that those who had agreed to RH bill dismissed the idea of the side effects that the usage of contraceptives could give and such usage would only show that we are against God’s will of bringing a new life in our world. And even those who teach Theology and had submitted themselves to the law are to refrain from teaching. The university had even ordered its professors that whenever they expresses their own stand on the issue, they better do it outside the campus and they are not allowed to tell that they work under a Catholic church or Catholic university. Such orders or rules are crossing…

    Convinced that our country needs an aid for destitution and economic degeneration, many politicians propose the Reproductive Health Bill. They believe that this bill will improve Filipino’s quality of living thinking that our country is facing the problem of overpopulation. They attest that the said bill is neither anti-life nor anti-family, that contraceptives are not life threatening, and that the bill could provide a better community to live in. Well, I say, even though it has been an established fact that our country Philippines is the 12th most populous country in the world, it does not necessarily mean that RH Bill is the right answer for the said problem.…

    The Reproductive Health Law

    The Reproductive Health Law

    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…
