Ricky,my 1st time to see this blog. i greatly appreciate your openly expressing your views on this controversial RH issue. I enjoyed and learned a lot from the pro and anti-RH bloggers, even if it against my views.
I am a Catholic and I support the RH, does that make me an Anti-Life, anti-Family, anti etc.? I think most of us here believes in the “sacredness” of life just like the so called “pro-life” group. ( I am more than just “pro-life” and pro-life to me is not enough! we have to be pro- qualitylife!
…and what kind of “Life” are they referring? is it just a life for the unborn? how about those already born, the malnourished children who, some unnecessarily die at a very young age…how about those neglected, abandoned, neglected or children lying in the streets, begging, scavenging,some snatching, stealing, etc…
where is the sacredness/dignity of life that there? when children/families are living in poverty, a miserable life?
What is the church doing? feeding? for just a day or days? can they provide housing for all of them, can they send all of them to school? or send all of them for treatment when they are sick? etc. Will the church take responsibility for all these?
If No, then let the government decide what is best for the many poor Filipinos.
Even if the RH Bill will be passed they still can promote the NFP, but for those couples whre NFP is not applicable to them, they should be given a CHOICE on what is effective for them. with RH Bill passed, this will now be more available and accesible to poor couples who otherwise cannot afford.
For the many years I’ve been working with the poor families, as a Social Worker, I really see the need of RH programs and services.
