VI. Group Analysis

Based in our team analysis though some of people voted PRO for having their reliable intention that being a

pro- is to approach an issue from the morality, because for them life is at stake, for who attached and committeda grave crime of abortion, which of their understanding that it is violation of Gods commandment.

In other hand, being ANTI, most who purely and truly have faith in God, to save people under from PRO; church

cannot remain undamaged RH BILL will pave away BUT the Church *God* will make a way.

VII. Reporters View

According to Rhenyl, Zujie, and El Jann, it shows many inevitable conflicts to RH Bill in the Philippines bychoosing or voting between the PRO vs. ANTI

Needs to be cured in a way of having a good value, character, behavior, actions and attitude. ALWAYS HAVE

FAITH IN GOD, NEVER LOSE IT. In order to keep the name of the needs that keep us alive is : making a vision of; HONESTY,OBJECTIVITY,

INTEGRITY

VIII. Churchs ViewHead of the Roman Catholic Church (Philippines) - Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle opposes RH bill (w/abortion and contraception). 81% of Filipinos: Catholics, Catholic Church exerts strong influence in public and moral life.Staunch opposition to bill: drawn controversy among non-Catholics and Catholics alike, support bill whereby many invokeprinciple of separation of church and state.

Fr. Joaquin Bernas, S.J, - drafters (Philippine Constitution), prominent lawyer and writer, explained concept of separationof church and state directed towards state, rather than the church, political concept. Technically it means non-establishment of religion, as the Constitution stated No law shall be passed respecting an establishment of religion ...Means, state should be guided by principle, should support no specific religion. Means government funding not beallocated: building churches or mosques, and not favor any particular religion. Does not prevent church, parents,supervisors, teachers and other moral educators from expressing views and educating wards on the morality of their

personal and social actions. Proponents, on the other hand, state that the church not meddle in matters of state, andfocus on religious matters, not political matters.

Why does the Catholic Church interfere in the affairs of the Government? When in fact there is a separation of theChurch and the State.

This question usually comes from the person who does not know the nature of the Church, because if theyknow their question should be, why does the State interfere in the affairs of the Church?

That is the very reason why we are defending ourselves. The Church is not a Church without the people. TheChurch is the people of God. We are the Church. And before we became a member of our family, and beforewe became a member of our society, before we became a citizen of our country and before we became acitizen of the world, we fi rst and foremost belong to Gods family.


3/4

Are we going to allow one of our children to be poison, of course not? Contraceptives poison! Are we going to allow if one of the family members is being fooled or deceive? No! Do we agree to allow one member of our family to be killed? No! Finally, nobody can take away God from His Church!

LET US NOT ALLOW THIS BILL TO PASS!SAY NO TO RH BILL

Anti RH Bill

RH bill cause much higher prices of commodities and health care products in the Philippines because of the factthat businesses and hospitals would be compelled to offset the RH care expenses that they are going to pay fortheir workers. Not good for everybody, as it would create a wave of economic regulations and controls. Mightalso cause the government to issue price controls and other regulatory edicts so to prevent companies andeven hospitals from raising the prices of their products and services!

Overpopulation in PH is a MYTH! No correlation between economic growth and poverty reduction, or between overpopulation and poverty. Such

an alleged correlation is a fallacy. But there exists a correlation between poverty and repressive economicpolicies, as shown by the ranking of Doing Business and Economic Freedom Index. For instance, top tencountries with the highest fertility rate are Niger, Uganda, Mali, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Democratic Republic ofCongo, Angola, Ethiopia, and Republic of Congo. What do these countries have in common? Theyre all poor.But why are they so poor? Theyre poor because of their failed, repressive economic policies

Reproductive Health Bill: Its Evil, Not Just Wrong I oppose RH Bill not on the grounds of religious argument (that it is anti-Life), but because it is not part of the

function of a government to institutionalize slavery, by sacrificing one group to another group. I do not share thesentiments of the religionists and the Catholics that this bill is pro-abortion or against the sanctity of life. Ibelieve this proposition is anti-Life, but I do not agree with the religious position and definition of the term. Tome it is anti-Life in the sense that it kills mans motivation to achieve and the value of mans achievement.

Pro RH Bill

Bill wants to uplift the quality of life of the people, increase the share of each Filipino in the nations resources,

and eliminate poverty. Solution to poverty: development and not population control. RH Bill does not actuallysolve the problem; may actually cause more predicaments. Contraceptive mentality (I cant have or I dont wantthis child) already there, contraceptives fail; people may consider having abortion.

RH is not abortion.

Using condom no more produces: unborn child than, sleeping produces: unborn masterpiece. Unborn child

does not exist. No more real than an unborn thought, romance, and heroism. You want to light a candle on the

grave of the child that died from contraception, feel free to do so. But dont include others in your lunacy. Will enlighten Filipinos, not factories of babies. Percentage of unexpected pregnancies are higher than planned

ones. Government: right to create this for welfare of everyone. Everyone: right to do what he or she prefers togive to their unborn children. Government not asks you to kill. Still be up to every human being. After all, Hegave us the privilege of choice.

People try to make it appear, not criminal (reality), proposing is criminal. Clothe their advocacy with pro-

development purposes like decreasing poverty: reduction of population, no correlation between the two. RH Billpromotes informed choice among women even if we already have the Magna Carta for Women safeguardingthe right of choice of Filipino women, etc.

XI. Conclusion

Information and access to natural and modern family planning Maternal, infant and child health and nutrition Promotion of breast feeding Prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications Adolescent and youth health Prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and STDs Elimination of violence against women Counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health Treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers Male involvement and participation in RH Prevention and treatment of infertility RH education for the youth Certain dilemmas that I perceive are usually caused by people annotating their personal views in considering

how suppress their statements are, I induct that they should at least take into deliberation the both sides of thestory and not only their personal assumptions.
