The Church's Definition Of the Reproductive Health Bill.

The Church's Definition Of the Reproductive Health Bill.

According to the Catholic Church, The Reproductive health bill is defined as.
1. People will be allowed to have free sex with the use of contraceptives and it will allow abortion if the given or taken contraceptive fails to work
2. The Reproductive health Bill is an attack to human life, the family, and the values we have in our Filipino culture.
3. The bill is oppressive to the religious belief and it removes the idea of the morality in the family and the public.
4. The Reproductive health bill hides many meaning to the public like the terms and programs being offered by the bill.
5. For the Church, Contraceptives are poison to the womb, it may render the couple to be infertile or sterile, it will increase the sexual activity in the Philippines which will increase the possibility of having sexually transmitted diseases or AIDS.

According to the Reproductive Health Bill
1. Contraceptives Do not have life threatening side-effects.
2. The effects of the contraceptives that will be given to couples are medically and scientifically proven to show that there are no possible medical risks to the users.
3. The Bill does not say that pregnancy is a sickness, but what the bill wants to do is that couples will have the choice to use contraceptives to be able to plan what he wants to happen in the family.
4. The bill is NOT Pro-Abortion
5. Reports by the UN show that countries with higher population score lower in human development and the rank of the Filipinos have been going down every year and we’re becoming the most consistent country with the worst performance in South East Asian Countries. Studies show that there is a link between a huge population and the country being poor.
6. Family Planning is more needed than contraceptives, Family planning does not tell the couple to use contraceptives because people know that not all can afford contraceptives.


After weighing down what the Church and the Bill is saying, I would go for what is written in the bill. I am Pro Reproductive health Bill because I want change in our country. It’s not that I am against the church or I want to have access to these items, but I believe that the Philippines need to be educated. Family planning is a hard thing to teach and what the church is asking us to do is hard (well, I don’t know for others). We’re in a society where in many people are not like the olden times in which the old ligawan stage happens.



Today people are more straight forward. People get girlfriends in less than an hour and some get more than 2 or 3 girlfriends at the same time.
