Yes to Women's Choice' or 'No to RH Bill! God will get angry!' etc. etc. Lahat tayo edukado at kaya naman nating lahat gumawa ng diskurso kung saan lahat ng opinyon ay respetado ng lahat, kahit hindi sang-ayon ang isa't-isa.<br /><br />There is such a thing as respect, to agree-to-disagree and move on after.<br /><br />For my most humble opinion, however,<br />Why do you have to write another bill if what can be done is incremental changes in the health care system?<br /><br />Who will benefit most from this bill? The poor, or the pharmaceutical companies and the government officials who have support for the bill?<br /><br />If the problem is supposedly overpopulation because the poor can't stop their oohlala-time, it's not because they're uneducated. It's because they don't have anything else to do. Think about it. Come 630 pm at night and there's no light, no book, no tv, what else would people do? Sex. Plain and simple. It's fun.<br /><br />Research has to be done on what happens when you place electricity, a tv, other sources of entertainment (hobbies), and books (if they can read). Just give them something else to do other than sex, let's see what happens.<br /><br />I'm not against the RH bill, I'm just not sure if we actually know what we're going into.<br /><br />If it is passed, then so be it. I will move on. However, a 20-year analysis shows many European countries that have RH bills learned that it is a failure because while their A B C population most certainly grew less in number, their poor and immigrant population most certainly rose. The reason why riots began France was because there were many people of age who can work, but couldn't because they couldn't study and therefore get qualified for work. Those qualified for work grew less in number and so France's retirement age went to 65...<br /><br />... Is that the risk you're all willing to take with the RH bill?<br /><br />All I'm saying is, before we start subsidizing condoms (which we can buy in convenient stores) and birth-control pills (which have significant withdrawal symptoms regarding emotions because of hormonal changes and yes it's scientifically proven), not that it doesn't make things better on the short (and perhaps in the long) term.<br /><br />I've been trying to argue with myself regarding the RH bill and I just can't seem to accept it. I respect those who have taken this decision with a clear head, but not those that have joined the bandwagon.<br /><br />Let me end by saying this, "If you're angry against the Church or have arguments against the Church, don't go for the Bill".<br /><br />Respect."athrunatreidesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-797917605105900943.post-37047158095776571362012-08-07T18:47:47.283+08:002012-08-07T18:47:47.283+08:00I can't help but think if the current deluge o...I can't help but think if the current deluge of rain has something to do with the RH Bill. Is God sending us a reminder (a warning)? <br />I am pro-life and believe that contraception is not an answer to responsible parenting. Education, alleviation from poverty and stronger morals are the answer. <br />Contraceptives will not solve the issue that the youth of today are open to sex than before. <br />I hope the RH Bill will not be passed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
