On RH bill and the Catholicism in the Philipines
October 7, 2010I really admire Carlos Celdran’s support to the RH bill and the CBCP’s decision against the said bill. the former set foot on the Manila Cathedral and set a performance that opens the eyes of most Filipinos in the said bill.
For me the reproductive bill needs to be passed. The church should not hinder the said bill. Yes, the bible said that we need to “forth and multiply” but on our nation’s society, one needs “not to go forth and multiply” anymore. Metro Manila is now overpopulated, Most of us lived in poverty. More and more streetchildren has been seen anywhere, roaming around and begging for food and money, sleeping in sidewalks while sniffing something inside the plastic containers in their hands, pickpocketing, etc. Not only that,mothers abandoning their children and unborn children being in the news has been a common thing, and women being impregated in their teen years is definitely not a good sign.
For me, the Reproductive Health bill will be a big help in order to prevent this. Men and women will become responsible in their own reproductive health and their own well being. Families can plan on having a kid and couples can practice safe sex and prevent pregnancy.
IDK why the church is against the bill, for the contraceptives used to prevent the baby and not kiling it. You see, there’s a huge difference between preventing and killing. and I think it’s better to prevent getting pregnant if they know they will not able to provide for their kids than watching them starve to death.
To our modern day Rizal, Mr. Carlos Celdran, I salute you for bringing the message clear to all modern-day Damasos.
Hope that the bill will pass despite everything.
