UN: Pass RH Measure
International Organization Weighs In On Divisive Issue

By ROY C. MABASA and CHARISSA M. LUCI
August 5, 2012

MANILA, Philippines — Saying there is no better time than now, the United Nations on Sunday urged Philippine policy-makers to pass the controversial reproductive health (RH) bill.

“Current circumstances present this opportunity, and it is in the hands of policy-makers to make it happen,” the UN said in its statement on the Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development Act Bill.

The measure has become a highly divisive issue in Congress. On Monday, the House of Representatives will decide whether to vote on the bill or shelve it.

Last Saturday, about 10,000 people attended the Catholic Church-led prayer rally at the EDSA Shrine to oppose the passage of the measure.

The UN statement is seen as big boost to President Benigno S. Aquino III, a staunch advocate of the measure.

Today the President will meet with 150 congressmen in a final effort to convince them to support the RH bill.

According to the UN, reproductive health “is not about population numbers” but “about ensuring a life of health and dignity.”

“Issues around the reproductive health bill have been addressed and clarified for over a decade now,” the UN pointed out. “Time spent discussing these issues repeatedly is measured by the lives of the 15 women we lose to maternal deaths every day.”

The bill seeks to make it mandatory for the government to provide free contraceptives.

Besides free contraception, it would also give the poor preferential access to family planning services in state hospitals, while lessons on family planning and sex education would become compulsory in schools and for couples applying for a marriage license.

The Church is adhering closely to the Vatican teaching which allows only the use of natural family planning methods like the rhythm, withdrawal and abstinence for couples to limit the number of their children.

In line with the same teaching, it bans the use of artificial contraceptives specifically the Pill, condom and intrauterine device which it considers as “sin” because they induce abortion.

The UN warned that the “hopes of future prosperity could turn to dust” if the country is not able to deal with the population growth by giving men and women access to the information and means to freely and responsibly exercise their human right to have just the number of children they want.

If current trends continue, as the country grows richer, the number of people living in poverty will increase, the UN said.

About 20 million Filipinos live in slum conditions.

According to the UN, urban population is growing at a rate of 60 percent, and it is estimated that by 2030, 75 percent of the Philippine population will be living in urban areas.

House Majority Leader and Mandaluyong Rep. Neptali M. Gonzales II said Malacanang has invited all 284 House members, along with other concerned groups to the 11:30 a.m. meeting.

“The President wants to share his thoughts on the RH bill. As far as I know, there about 150 congressmen who confirmed their attendance,” Gonzales said over DZBB’s Buena Manong Balita program yesterday.

The House is set to vote on whether to terminate the debates on House Bill (HB) 4244 or the Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2011, which has been subject to plenary interpellations since May 17 last year.

15 women we lose to maternal deaths every day = I wonder where did they got this information? Hmmmmm. Smelling hidden interests here. Anyway, they can pass several RH Bill, most contents of which are already in approved legislation and drown themselves in the P3 to 14 billion annual budget, but I bet, these figures will never be curbed. Mao nga atat nas Noynoy for the passage of this bill its because he needs the money to campaign the candidacy of his LP mates. Puwe! Way kalainan sa mga pulitiko nga nangagi.

PNoy: Kung walang anak, walang mahirap!

Taga Tigbao: Kung may RH Bill lang dati pa, wala ka din ngayon sana!

Most still have the mentality that "Sex is lami without condom"..........of course without thinking about the repercussions and instead thinking about them own selves at the heat of the moment...
