Senator Sotto as anti-RH Bill
« on: August 14, 2012, 10:49:26 PM »
let's hope that the senate majority floorleader did not shoot himself in the foot with his turno en contra speech assailing the rh bill and end up not helping the cause.  just wondering...

some salient points of his emotional(!?) speech on the senate floor, and the reaction of former health secretary dr esperanza cabral.

Sotto: My wife Helen and I, nawalan po kami ng anak dahil sa contraceptives... Wala sila [mga doktor] makita na dahilan kung bakit nagkaganun yung bata kundi dahil nagcocontraceptives yung asawa ko. Nabuntis pa rin kahit gumagamit ng contraceptives.

Cabral:  Without meaning to belittle the anguish that Sen. Sotto felt and apparently still feels over the loss of his son, allow me to say that condoms, hormonal contraceptives, intrauterine devices etc.,  have not been shown by scientific methods to cause “weak hearts” in babies born following their mothers’ use of these contraceptives.

Sen. Sotto seems to have fallen into the fallacy of post hoc ergo propter hoc,  Latin for "after this, therefore because of this" – or... "My wife used contraceptives, then my son was born with a weak heart; therefore my son’s weak heart was caused by my wife’s use of contraceptives."

Following that line of argument, if at the time of Vincent Paul’s conception, Sen. Sotto failed to brush his teeth,  it could be argued that his son was born with a weak heart because he failed to brush his teeth before having sex with Mrs. Sotto.

Sotto: 'Yung anak ko, five months. Hindi ko nahipo. Hahawakan ko, patay na. Makati Medical Center can prove to the fact na wala silang makita na dahilan na nagka ganoon 'yung bata kung di dahil nagcocontraceptives 'yung asawa ko... That's why kaya binanggit ko kanina Mr. President hindi trabaho ito sa akin, personalan to.  Sabi ng Makati Medical Center namatay ang dahilan paggamit ng misis ko ng contraceptives. Even her doctor admits to that fact.

Cabral: The obstetrician of Mrs. Helen Gamboa Sotto was Dr. Carmen Enverga Santos who has been dead for many years now.

According to Sen. Sotto, his wife got pregnant while using contraceptives (it was not specified what contraceptive and whether she was using it correctly and under medical supervision); and that Dr. Enverga Santos and Makati Medical Center (who else aside from Dr. Enverga Santos in Makati Medical Center was not mentioned) attribute the weak heart of Vincent Paul to Mrs. Sotto’s use of contraceptives...

Since Dr. Carmen Enverga Santos is dead, she cannot confirm or belie  the allegation of Sen. Sotto that she said his son’s weak heart was caused by his wife’s having used contraceptives before her pregnancy.

However, an inspection of  the hospital records and death certificate of Vincent Paul G. Sotto may help show the real cause of his death. I hope the good senator will make these public.

the senator reacts:

“Her reaction speaks about her more than about me. Will she lie if she lost a child? She’s so callous and insensitive,” Sotto said in a text message sent to reporters. (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/)


well, why not just make public the hospital records and the death certificate of his son to prove the doctor wrong? 

do away with the drama, your honor.  just defend the non-passage of this divisive bill all you can like a true statesman and not a tv showman.  i dare not think i wasted my vote on you.
