Reaction Paper Regarding Rh Bill
The Reproductive Health Bill is popularly known as the RH Bill, a Philippine bill that aims to guarantee methods and information for universal access on birth control and maternal care. It has become the center of a contentious national debate nowadays. It allows the usage of different contraception methods to prevent the multiplying population here in the country. That is why; the priests are not in favour of this bill because for them it is against the law of God. However, in my points of view, I thought at first that this argument is unnecessary for me to know. I thought that this issue is not needed and irrelevant for a student like me. But I now concede that I am really wrong. This bill must be known to every person that resides here in the Philippines. This is about us. This bill is something about our health and our country.

In my points of view, I guess, I am pro RH Bill in a sense that it can be a way to help our country to seize the incessant growing of our population and I believe that the irresponsible parenthood is one of the main reasons why there is poverty. There can never be conception without God, but through responsible parenthood, we can decrease poverty and that is the mainstream of this concern. We can build a nation that can provide things for their family. A nation that can cope with the fast changing approach of the new century and can never be left out. Because of poverty, we are being pulled down to the ground because we can’t go with the flow of life. In addition, this bill can serve as a good purpose for the married couples because this contributes more knowledge to their minds to have a good family planning scheme. We all know the demands sexually of the married couples, so by these, they can ensure that their family will not boost in number. Another thing is, I can never say that I am in favour of sex education for the youth. Yes, this can be a help for the young minds to decrease the number of pregnancies but it also deprives

    I am not against RH bill, and I am not pro abortion, it’s just I want to teach people lesson on giving birth among children whom they can’t support and will be like others begging on the streets and in the end be one of the government dependents. But I am not allowing manipulations or tricks just to fool us around, just to crash moral issues and other objections. I still believe in the moral values our late Pres. Cory imbued to our present president today and will do what is good for our country with due respect and transparency to all Filipino…

    Rh Bill Opinion

    Many thought that the bill would never pass, because the country has been divided in its stand; the church, particularly the Roman Catholics are too strong and are very emphatic in their opposition about the said issue. However, pro RH bill supporters have expressed and fought for their thoughts and have found an ally in President Noynoy Aquino, who took office as President of the Philippine Republic in 2010. The Reproductive Health Bill will have its wide implications for improving the health and lives of women throughout the country. After researching about this bill, I have learned about the many advantages that will help the Filipinos especially the youth in uplifting their social and moral values. Contrary to what other people believed, I also support the pro RH Bill because from my point of view, it provides many advantages. I would like to raise my opinion on the following issues which I have researched extensively regarding the RH Bill:…

    • 11 Pages

    The latest version of the RH Bill2 does not refer to any specific problem related to demography. It does not mention at all the typical justification of population-control-to-eradicate-poverty. This version3 refers to reproductive health per se. The Philippines, according to this Bill, needs a law on reproductive health. By implication, it says that the Philippines does not have any law that addresses the reproductive health needs, an implication that is incorrect since there are already laws that address many of the provisions of the Bill.4…

    This particular Law is a vital factor for the complete employment of the Philippine government’s widespread health care policy, which aims to reduce deaths due to pregnancy or giving birth, and improve overall reproductive health of the Filipinos. According to the United Nations Population Fund (2009), and the Trade Union Congress of the Philippines (2012), “More mothers die from childbirth due to the poor implementation of modern family planning methods, bad public health service, and more.” The revolutionary RH Law, as proclaimed by Albay Representative Edcel Lagman, the principal author of the Bill, will not have immediate results. It is said that even with much work and plenty of funds, for the free contraceptives, the Law’s results may approximately initiate after five years. Even the authors of the Bill, now a Law, sadly announced that the RH Law is not perfect; much improvement and revision is still taking place. With the implementation of this Law, the government hopes to see great changes, especially on our public and reproductive health. As it was mentioned before, these changes include the improved access to information, facilities and services, increased stability and sustainability of health policy across national and local government. Hopefully, with their…

    The bill is national in scope, comprehensive, rights-based and provides adequate funding to the population program. It is a departure from the present setup in which the provision for reproductive health services is devolved to local government units, and consequently, subjected to the varying strategies of local government executives and suffers from a dearth of funding. The reproductive health (RH) bill promotes information on and access to both natural and modern family planning methods, which are medically safe and legally permissible. It assures an enabling environment where women and couples have the freedom of informed choice on the mode of family planning they want to adopt based on their needs, personal convictions and religious beliefs.…

    Our country is facing again a very serious issue which is the RH Bill that affects our moral values and its culture. This is really a serious issue and could really change our life as a Filipino. Most of us Filipinos are very naïve about this and most probably has no idea of what possible effects that could destroy our true Filipino morality with the concern of reproduction and sex. And I strongly opposed this bill, and so with the few conservative Filipinos, but those whose minds were twisted by only on politics and business, they thought that reduce poverty through population control.…

The RH Law has been a controversial bill during the time was not yet passed but now the current president of the Philippines; His Excellency President Benigno Simeon Aquino III signed it on December 21, 2012.

    But the other side declares different. According to them, not only that the bill puts a stopper in conceiving naturally, but it also degrades the moral values and culture of the society. Perhaps the most pronounced supporters are the members of the religious sectors. Still, according to them, the bill is a device mainly to ideologically attack on human life, the family, and our social and cultural values. Though this is only proclaimed by a group of people who values mostly religion, and many a conservative Filipino agrees with it.…

    Before 2012 gave her crown to 2013, she has made another record in History, and this is the implementation of "Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10354)" informally known as Reproductive Health Law. This law not only gives voice and empowerment to women but also gives responsibilities to men and the rights of the children to be happy (granting them future). The R.H. law gives emphasis to women's health through the use of family planning through the use of either the "Calendar method" or through the use of pills and condoms (the artificial method). It is a great help for couples in forming their family and their family's future. It gives the couples some "adjustment-time" to how many kids they would like to have and how many kids they can support. It also teaches both the kids and the men on how to be responsible citizens. Such help would be possible through the integration of the subject to the different fields of studies in the school and orienting them to learn Sex Education itself and Proper Parenting. RH Law strictly discourages the act of abortion, but if one has committed the act already, the government will help that woman if there are complications…
