Justify RH law, Palace ordered
« on: January 16, 2013, 12:00:58 PM »
Written by Jomar Canlas Senior Reporter

THE Supreme Court has ordered the government to answer the petitions questioning the constitutionality and legality of the controversial reproductive health (RH) law.


The court en banc has also decided not to issue a temporary restraining order against the implementation of the new law until after it has received the comments of Malacañang, through the Office of the Solicitor General.

The petition against the law, filed by lay couple James and Lovely Imbong, is considered the most controversial case pending before the High Court. The case was assigned to Associate Justice Jose Catral Mendoza after a raffle.

The 15-man tribunal ordered Malacañang to comment within 10 days on the Imbong couple’s petition questioning the constitutionality of the law. Malacañang’s comments would be the bases for any decision of the high court, whether it should issue an injunction order or not against the implementation of the law.
Despite strong opposition from the Catholic Church, the House of Representatives passed the reproductive health bill on December 20. President Benigno Aquino 3rd quietly signed it into law—Republic Act 10354, or the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012—on December 21. The law, which seeks to improve public access to reproductive health services, including natural and artificial family planning options, will take effect on January 17.

In their 25-page petition filed on January 2, the Imbongs said that the law violates the Constitution, which upholds the ideal of an unconditional respect for life, among others. They named as respondents Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, Education Secretary Armin Luistro, Interior Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas 2nd, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad and Health Secretary Enrique Ona.

“[This case] will present the illegality of the Act as it mocks the nation’s Filipino culture—noble and lofty in its values and holdings on life, motherhood and family life—now the fragile lifeblood of a treasured culture that today stands solitary but proud in contrast to other nations,” the couple said.

They argued that some provisions of the new law reveal its intentions to bring reproductive health care services within easy reach of the poor.

“By doing so, the poor become the primary targets of the State’s planned-parenthood policy—a subtle way of telling the poor that the State will subsidize their right to have access to modern methods of family planning simply because they are poor,” the petitioners said.

Jo Imbong, mother of James Imbong, the legal counsel of the Catholic Church, had described the petition as “the first salvo” against the law.

“We are paving the way for other similar suits from many faith-based groups,” she said
Imbong revealed that big prayer rallies against the new law were also being planned across the country in the weeks to come.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) had expressed support for the petition of the Imbongs. In a pastoral letter, Lingayen-Dagupan Archbishop Socrates Villegas, who is also the vice president of the CBCP, said that the reproductive health law “will lead to greater crimes against women.”

“The poor are being promised a better life through the RH bill. It will not be so. The poor can rise from their misery through more accessible education, better hospitals and lesser government corruption. Money for contraceptives can be better used for education and authentic health care,” Villegas said.

“The youth are being made to believe that sex before marriage is acceptable provided you know how to avoid pregnancy. Is this moral? Those who corrupt the minds of children will invoke divine wrath on themselves,” the bishop warned.

He said that the free and wide dissemination of contraceptives would destroy family life and lead to more violence against women.

This is what I am confused of. Klaro pas pahak sa among silingan ang kadaut nga gida sa RH Bill pero daghang nagsuporta. Mao na siguro ni giingon nga corruption of moral principles. Ambot ug sani mang gani.

the corruption of moral principle is made manifest. look at what's going on in vatican when people protested the Holy Father's decision to not support gay adoptions. the spirit of evil, the devil, may God rebuke him, has taken hold of societies. May Christ strengthen us...

Science Facts on the RH Bills
IN PLAIN LANGUAGE

The world’s leading scientific experts resolve the issues regarding the systematic, nationwide distribution of artificial contraceptives.


1. The RH Bills will kill children.

When does human life begin? At fertilization, when the sperm penetrates the egg. This was the unanimous response of medical experts (including doctors from Harvard Medical School and the Mayo Clinic) at an eight day hearing of the US Senate.[1]

Do birth control pills and the IUD kill the embryo? Yes, the pill has a secondary “postfertilization effect”, according to the scientific journal of the American Medical Association.[2] The American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology pronounced that the intrauterine device brings about the “destruction of the early embryo.”[3]

[1] Subcommittee Report, S-158, 97th Congress, 1st Session 1981, 7.
[2] Larimore and Stanford (2000). “Postfertilization effects of oral contraceptives and their relationship to informed consent” Arch Fam Med 9 (2): 126–33.

Bro,

We even have supporters here in US on gay marriage. Gay men who want to hire surrogate mothers to carry their children because they cannot biologically have a child. What they are doing is an affront to God's order.

Children here are being taught it is okay to be wrong. And those who are ardent supporters of truth are punished.

Disgusting.

2. The RH Bills will injure women’s health.

Is the pill safe? The International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2007 reported that the pill causes cancer, giving it the highest level of carcinogenicity, the same as cigarettes and asbestos.[4] It also causes stroke,[5] and significantly increases the risk of heart attacks.[6]

3. The RH Bills will destroy the family.

Will the greater availability of contraception improve the conditions of the family? Contraceptives bring about the downgrading of marriage, more extramarital sex, more fatherless children, more single mothers, according to the studies of Nobel prize winner, George Akerlof.[7]

4. The RH Bills will 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 evidence” in the world, concluded Harvard Director for AIDS Prevention, Edward C. Green. Availability of condoms makes people take wilder sexual risks, thus worsening the spread of the disease.[8]

5. The RH Bills are based on wrong economics.

Is there a correlation between population growth and economic development? “No correlation” is the answer of Simon Kuznets, Nobel Prize winner in the science of economics.[9]

Is population control one of the ingredients for high economic growth? No. This is the conclusion of the 2008 Commission on Growth and Development headed by Nobel prize winner Michael Spence. The factors for high growth are: leadership, openness to knowledge, stable finances, market allocation, investment and savings.[10]

The ultimate experts and arbiters have spoken. Stop the RH Bills once and for all.

Help dispel ignorance of these science facts. Beware of the wealthy and powerful pro-RH lobby.

Make many copies for your neighborhood, school, company, and community. Give copies to media, and local and national politicians. TODAY!

Yes Bro, kahibawo ko ana. I have been following developments like this sa ubang nasud and I am afraid that our GOOD politicians here, puweras maajo, are copying everything sa western countries. I hope that the Supreme Court here will find the protests against the RH Law sufficient enough to stop its implementation.
