RH BILL
What is RH BILL, one of the most 2012 debated issued in the Philippines.
It is The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act, known as the RH Bill.
A source say. Its strikes down some longstanding barriers for women’s
access to sexual and reproductive health care, including access to
natural and modern contraception and reproductive health information for
adults.
The house made it a history, it was pending for about 13 years, but
now it was law voted by 133 in favor, 79 against and 7 abstentions house
member. it was approved by the President last Dec. 21, 2012, amid of
protest of some individual and religious group.
Under the bill, the State shall promote programs that enable
individuals and couples to have the number of children they desire with
due consideration to the health, particularly of women, and the
resources available and affordable to them with due consideration to
their religious convictions.
In School it give age-appropriate sexuality education to students of
reproductive age, with parental consent. the Act also requires under 18
seeking access to contraception to obtain written parental consent
The Act further mandates the Department of Health to procure and
distribute reproductive health care services and supplies through the
help of local government units and also emphasizes the importance of
maternal and child health, prioritizing it in health system updates and
emergency care.
Also the Act makes it illegal for reproductive healthcare providers
to withhold reasonable treatment or information from any adult based on
the lack of third-party consent, such as permission from a husband. It
further seeks to address conscientious objection by healthcare providers
by requiring them to refer patients immediately to another provider.

Some sector and some religious group are against on this bill, they
say it was against the Philippines constitution, even today that it was already
approved by the President into law there is still opposing it, some
group file a motion to suppress the implementation of this law in the
higher court. Further they say that its must not be implemented because
it will defile the freedom of individual to have a number of child they
want, a freedom in having a good family. a right of the parent to
educate their child about sex that must be only the parents who should
do, a freedom to build life. freedom to live for every child to be born.
Well, we are all entitle to have our own opinion, a freedom of expression. a concern for the people.
In my own opinion in this law, it will lessen the unwanted pregnancy,
even abortion for the teenage girl that sometime ruin their dream, if
they educated at early age about sex they will know the good and bad
about sex,
Sometimes the girl or boy become curious about sex because of lack of knowledge about it, so the tendency is, they tried it by them self, they
explore and what is the outcome? a girl become pregnant their study,
dream has gone, sometimes their own family. but if they educate by early age
they will have to aware of it. they will also learned to be responsible
of what they have done.
If you think that they can easily avail the contraceptive, No, the
law said a young boy or girl can't avail contraceptive or anything alike,
without the consent of their parents.
I'm not anti or a pro RH bill, I'm just realistic. it is not a time
for go and multiply we are over populated, there a lot of children
wanderer in the street, poverty is the reason, the children are the most
affected of it, they can't study, they can't have a good life, what they
become? sometime they become criminals that should be a hope of the
nation or sometimes they just died in the street. the Government can't help them,
do we blame the Government? maybe this street people is one of the reason of this
bill, they can now avail a contraceptive because its free.
We can control our self about sex, but sometime the urge and
eagerness is uncontrollable, in fact, the bible say, sex is good. just we
do it in a right way and pleasing to God.
We need help to control our self, our overloaded population. God will
help us that's true but you also help yourself. Our God sometime use a
things to help us we should be just aware of it, its by yourself.
I want to share the story of a man caught in the middle of the flood,
he is in the roof top of his house because the flood reach the sealing
of his house, he cried pray for help to God to save him, a chopper come
and shout at him, come hold the rope and we'll pull out from flood, but
the man said no, My God the one will help me, the chopper go away,
another come, a boat the man on the boat throw a life saving device to
him and said put that in your body and we will get you out from there
but the man said no My God the one will help me, the boat live him.
after long hour, he so cold, the man pray again My God help me how do I
wait for your help, I'm tired and cold. God said i send to help to you
but you didn't notice it, help your self now. we are seeking for help we
didn't notice that its already come.
For me, this law help the Gov to control the over population, to have
more good program for the people, to help people to help their self more appropriate plan for good governance.
There is no things on earth that God didn't permitted, even the devil
get permission to God before he move. what we do is to submit to God and
pray for strength and faith.
Everything is good it become bad if we use it in a wrong way.
