Science Facts on the RH Bill 2 (comments)

Condoms promote the spread of AIDS.

Will the use of condoms lower the rate of HIV/AIDS in a country? It will increase it, according to the “best studies”, concluded Harvard Director for AIDS Prevention, Edward C. Green. Availability of condoms makes people they take wilder sexual risks, thus worsening the spread of the disease. He showed that fidelity and abstinence are the best solutions to the AIDS epidemic. 8

The contraceptive lifestyle destroys the family.

Will the greater availability of contraception improve the conditions of families? Wide contraceptive use leads to more premarital sex, more fatherless children, more single mothers, more poverty, more abortions; and also a decline of marriage, less domesticated men, more crimes, more social pathology and poverty, according to the studies of Nobel prize winner, George Akerlof.9 Many other studies reached the same conclusion.

The RH Bills are based on wrong economics.

Is there a correlation between population growth and economic development? “No clear association” is the answer of Simon Kuznets, Nobel Prize winner in the science of economics.10 Many later studies confirmed this, including a 2003 study of the RAND Corporation, a world leader in research associated with 30 Nobel Prize winners.11

Is population control one of the ingredients for high economic growth and poverty reduction? No, population control is not among the five solutions or ingredients found by the 2008 Commission on Growth and Development headed by Nobel prize winner Michael Spence. The growth factors are: good governance, openness to knowledge, stable finances, market allocation, investment and savings.12 Our country loses 400 billion pesos to corruption every year.13
