This is a repost with some edits of my Facebook status this morning. I just want to say that I was able to hold the line and defend my thesis (no matter how poorly) against Dr. Sibayan, Mr. Mariano, and Ms. Diaz! All OrgComm and CommArts students from DLSU-M know what I'm talking about. I'm finally graduating and, now, I can fully say these opinions.
In light of the RH Bill, the argument raised by losing a child due to the use of contraceptives should not lead you to becoming anti-RH bill. The RH bill aims to actually educate you with all aspects pertaining to reproduction. This means that people will be educated on the use of contraceptives, among other things, and learn why, how, and what to use each for. This is exempting the actual fact that contraceptives before were a new development and not as stable as the products that are developed now. Elaborating on this, other facts excluded here is that there is no scientific evidence that points out that using contraceptives causes birth defects and that this argument has been stated before but has been exaggerated to a proportion with tears and proses by this politician.
It looks like politics can be a performance art and he can be nominated for best actor as an antagonist of a show called "Pro-Life and its Education". (If this really works, maybe actors should really become politicians, huh? I apologize for the hell of sarcasm here.)
Moreover, educating the general population about reproduction will also help in reducing the mindset that is set on the masses that the better chances at success is having so much children aside from the other misconceptions.
On the other hand, this senator that is a so-called prolife advocate should apologize for plagarizing his speech from a US blogger and directly translating to Filipino a speech from a US politician.
Lastly, this bill and the issues that come along with it have to start ending soon so that we can actually move forward and develop a better economy. This is not discounting the fact that the RH bill will actually help boost our economy.
To the big church against the RH bill, can you have any other tactic than scaring the general population about things you are against because you have been doing that since the beginning of your stay here on Earth? The general population needs to be educated and all you do is hide behind your walls and robes scared that educating them is evil. If you aren't one of those people but part of the big church, don't be offended please.
