The church doesn’t agree that contraceptives are Medically Safe. They made a post wherein they said that the uses of contraceptives are dangerous because of the effects it may bring to the mother.
Here are the examples of what the church said.
1. Pills (these are the ones taken by the females to not be fertile or the so-called-birth control pills)
a. According to the church, pills can cause hypertension, stroke, diabetes, goiter, cancer, etc.
2. Depo-Provera
a. Causes diabetes, bleeding, cancer and will increase the risk of having chlamydia and gonorrhea.
3. IUD
a. Can cause infection, perforation of the uterus and bleeding
4. Condom (Female or Male)
a. Gives the couple a sense of security in which it can be considered as fake because many times condoms fail. Condoms increase the frequency of sexual activity and it increases the risk of having Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Aids.
These contraceptives do not offer much protection and most of the times these contraceptives fail.
How?
1. If the condom has a rate of 30 percent chance of failure because the sperm can escape from the latex, then there is also a chance that diseases will be able to escape from condoms. If a sperm can escape from the condom, then AIDS can transfer faster because it is 450 times smaller than the sperm.
According to the church, why use contraceptives if manpower is much needed in the country. OFWs give importance to the country and since man is an asset in this country, why should the Filipinos allow their fellow Filipinos to use contraception to reduce the creation of more assets.
If there will be more Filipinos, there will be more problem, nowadays, countries are only allowing a number of Filipino workers present in their countries because of many issues. We cannot always rely on OFWs because the only good thing they are bringing us are the remittances and the popularity given to Filipinos. But they don’t really get paid much and they are not treated well out of the country, if the Philippines would make professionals in the country, those who were planned by the Filipinos then, the country would be able to develop more, we wouldn’t have to rely on people going abroad for jobs, but instead, the Filipinos will be working for Filipinos, the Filipinos will be helping their fellow Filipinos. I’m not saying that the OFWS are not bringing any good to the Philippines. Actually, they are, they are becoming the hope of our country, but what happens if other countries wouldn’t let Filipinos work for them anymore, There are so many Filipinos in the country trying to work abroad and when they go there what do they get? Don’t they get harassed or mistreated by others? I’m not saying all, but we do get bad reports coming from other countries and I believe that Filipinos need to work for their country in their country.
