		<description>hi mr.blackshama.im currently working on my position paper and i am on the side of supporting the rh bill.i have found several faults of this bill.can u pls send me ur reaction regarding the ff. or i should be against the bill if i dont prove it false.pls reply asap for i am presenting it in class dis thurs feb 19 or anyone who reads my comment.
a. rh bill violates the constitution, by using contraceptives it does not protect the life of the unborn even during conception.when life precisely begins?
b. rh bill undermines the role of parents to be the primary educator of their children.
c.rh bill is pro abortion because of its abortifacient contraceptives.Has someone proven that it is abortifacient or has there been a study which proves it really is?pls give complete infos.
d. why is it that the bill prohibits those who refuse to render reproductive services like tubal ligation and vasectomy w/o spousal consent and abused pregnant minor w/o parental consent.the first disgrace the menaing of marriage, the second ignores the parents.why come up with this prohibition?
e. the 2 child ideal family size may cause social stigma and discrimination so the government sholud not engage on this nor to be mandated.

I suggest you read Charles Darwin&#039;s &quot;Descent of Man&quot; in order to have a better scientific background on sexuality. Human beings are animals and naturally will &quot;crave&quot; for &quot;animalistic&quot; sex life. 

Man bears the stamp of his lowly origin- Charles Darwin.

I find your post denigrating against human beings since you are obviously arguing from a &quot;holier than thou&quot; position.</description>

		<description>Here are some of the potential consequences of the passage into law of the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill (HB O5043) which have dawned upon me; to wit:

1.0	 BIG BUSINESS, BIGGER MONEY. If RH Bill passes into law, condom suppliers may earn from the Philippine government (which will be mandated to distribute free condoms to 4.9 million youth aged 15-27), PhP 2.548 billion every year. (Or 4.9 million youth times 1 sex act per week times 52 weeks per year times condom usage of 1 piece per sex act times supplier’s price of P10 per piece of condom.) The assumption of a youth engaging in sex at the average of once a week, I am afraid, is in order and conservative. It will be unthinkable for a young student to obey the reminder of his RH teacher or older relatives that abstinence is the most effective birth control method when that young student is aware, the government is duty-bound to provide him or her with free condom for his or her sexual cravings anytime, anywhere. Condom supply is therefore a big business if RH Bill passes into law. Nevertheless, what is bigger money is when government canvassers, signatories of purchase orders, receivers of condom deliveries, as well as check payment signatories and releasers may connive with condom suppliers to price the condom at P 100 per piece instead of P 10. The over price of P 90 per piece of condom will be distributed among the involved government officials. Therefore, due to the passage of the RH Bill, there is an opportunity for a PhP 25.48 billion condom scam to happen.

2.0	BOARS AND GILTS. These 4.9 million youth who are recipients of the government’s free supply of condoms may naturally crave for sex like animals (considering the additional enticement from the immodest mass media and the internet pornography). The young male may act like boar while the young female behaves like gilt that is in heat. This promiscuity or multiple sexual relationships, is probably just a take off point. The Law of Diminishing Extra Satisfaction (as adopted from the psychological and economic law of diminishing marginal utility) that governs pure human and animal endeavors including sexual relations will be fully operational. In other words, if sex will be a preoccupation of the Filipino youth, then the satisfaction that a young male derives having sex with female partner/s, will decrease or wane eventually. He then ventures to partner sexually with his fellow male/s to seek new level of satisfaction. He may push further by engaging in bisexual activities. But most likely he will end up as a pure homosexual. A young female may also follow the same path as she craves for sex and sexual satisfactions. She may graduate as a pure lesbian. But this scenario will not be glaring overnight. It will take a generation – ten years span. This may then translate to the need of a new advocacy – to support the passing into law of the bill on same-sex marriages and divorce in the country.

3.0	POPULATION REDUCTION. The ultimate aim of RH Bill, I understand, is achieving economic prosperity (particularly for the poor) however through population reduction approach. In case the RH Bill is passed, its success will be measured therefore by, among others, whether its respective population reduction target (PRT) is attained. And the critical factor in attaining PRT is the effective distribution and use of condom of the 4.9 million Filipino youth in particular. Effective means here, making a condom available for free, on demand of the youth, either male or female, anywhere, anytime. As mentioned above, this will cost the Philippine government, PhP 2.548 billion every year. If  the government will have limited or doesn’t have that amount of taxpayers’ money (for condom purchase and distribution) then the full attainment of the PRT will be jeopardized. Thus RH Law may prove to be ineffective to reduce population in the country. If this is the case, other population reduction measures or Bills will be therefore sought. So there will be a future need to support for the passage into law of Pro-abortion Bills as well as of Pro-euthanasia Bills.

So then, to all the RH Bill advocates, if your support for the passage into law of RH Bill (which may lead to additional opportunity for corruptions in the Philippine government, to transformation of the Filipino youth as homosexuals and lesbians, to eventual murder of unborn babies and to future mercy-killing of senior citizens, etc.) makes your Mama proud of you, then go full speed ahead of your RH Bill advocacy. Otherwise, please resign as a RH Bill supporter and lobby harder for our legislators to vote against RH Bill.</description>

		<description>and one last thing that dude who said will people die less if we give out contraceptives. nah not really, first off your already killing them before they come out, which in a case where someone is undecided and does not have contraceptives well they still get a kid and 2 contraceptives does not ensure a woman infertility so if a condom breaks or if a pill fails here comes an extra kid who&#039;ll probably die from startvation or something weird like cannibalism lol. plus hey more contraceptives more sex yey. anyway figure it out.</description>

		<description>ladies and gents, hold your horses. i will honestly say that before i conducted some research on the subject matter i was totally pro stand on this bill. however since i myself have taken things in consideration and has decided not to base my opinion on speculations i have put things in perspective and is able to see things clearer. Before i go any further i would like to say that I am not catholic, and is much less of a christian. I am very open minded, (liberal) pro gay, womens rights etc. For goodness sakes i am born both a citizen of the philippines and the US. I grew up in the US where abortion &amp; contraception is allowed.
However  i disagree with this bill not because it gives us information, but because it is the wrong approach to our problems. Over population is not the question we should be asking(how many people are on 
earth).   The question we should be asking is how many enlightened people are on earth. (educated) It is PROVEN that women and men who are EDUCATED ARE NOT LIKELY to have many children, or have kids UNPREPARED. yes i know the bill says it will give people information hey, jeeze get on the internet read books. (no i&#039;m not a nerd in fact i have modeled in the US and here.) my point is if this bill is not passed ur not getting deprived of information. Now secondly you have the phillippine constitution. and this bill violates a S**T  load of laws namely

Article XVI, Section 9
Section 9. The State shall protect consumers from trade malpractices and from substandard or hazardous products. (yes drug companies will profit by making you panic. it&#039;s everywhere panic=sales and business. a funny example is a few months ago in dallas, texas they announced that it may be hit by a freakin hurricane. the idotic people decided to buy food and supplies to protect themselves and reinforce their homes of course it did not happen. Idiots a hurricanes only gain strength in water. texas is a fuckin desert the air is dry. of course the hurricane died before it reached the main land. point is, marketing scam like the phone operators lol) 

Article XIII, Section 14
Section 14. The State shall protect working women by providing safe and healthful working conditions, taking into account their maternal functions, and such facilities and opportunities that will enhance their welfare and enable them to realize their full potential in the service of the nation.

When the egg of the mother unites with the sperm of the father, a zygote forms and a new life begins. However, some of these artificial contraceptives, aside from the barrier method, doesn’t only inhibit the union of sperm and egg, but kills the life of that one-day or perhaps five-day old zygote. How? This zygote burrows in the inner layer of the uterus in order to gain nutrition from the mother, and some of these contraceptives enables the inner layer to shed off so that this zygote cannot gain nutrition, thus causing the zygote to die. That, is how some of these contraceptives deny the inherent right of the zygote to live, which is a violation of Section 5,11, and 12 of Article II of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines which states that “ the state recognizes the sanctity of family and shall protect and strengthen the family.. it shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn”. 



Article II
Section 5. The maintenance of peace and order, the PROTECTION OF LIFE, liberty, and property, and promotion of the general WELFARE are essential for the enjoyment by all the people of the blessings of democracy. 


Section 11. The State values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for HUMAN RIGHTS. 
Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. The natural and primary right and duty of parents in the rearing of the youth for civic efficiency and the development of moral character shall receive the support of the Government. 
Section 13. The State recognizes the VITAL ROLE of the YOUTH in nation-building and shall PROMOTE and PROTECT their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs. 

Section 15. The State shall protect and promote the right to HEALTH of the people and instill health consciousness among them. 
Section 16. The State shall protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature. 
Section 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and development. ( EDUCATION OR DECEPTION? yea are they gonna tell you how the pill works, how other than killing the child it makes marriages and relationships end because it affects the girls brain nad emotions? how it increases the risk of cancer in women by 480% and so on and so forth,. nah, all they will tell you is that it&#039;s all good this is nice since they are all sales men, and you know what if i had a company that supplies this shit i&#039;d tell you the same buy it lol.

now my friends you claim to be open minded then open your minds and analyze less you get called idiots!. the catholic church ain&#039;t that bad again i am not catholic. the problem with us kids is we hate god coz he&#039;s a form of authority like our parents s**t. grow up and think before you act! now if you think contracetives is a new thing then you are mislead. it has been done for over 1000 years, go do some research on the egyptians and europeans you&#039;ll find out.  

Last but not the least the malthusian fear (meaning the earth is getting overpopulated) check this out look it up on wikipedia under malthusianism again this is not science but rather speculation)

Deming has identified himself with the Cornucopian school of environmental thought, and has consistently criticized Malthusian theory. In 1998, he wrote &quot;although world population has increased by more than a factor of six over the last 200 years, we are all aware that the average standard of living has risen dramatically - in direct contradiction to Malthusian theory.&quot;[6] Deming considers the &quot;fundamental flaw&quot; in Malthusian theory to be that &quot;it fails to take into account the exponential growth in resources that occurs through technological advances.&quot;[7] He has questioned if Malthus&#039; hypothesis is scientific, because its adherents resist empirical falsification.[8]
In a letter published in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists magazine, the Explorer, in 2002, Deming wrote that &quot;prior to World War II, the central principle upon which our civilization was ordered was progress - the idea that the application of scientific knowledge results in improved standards of living,&quot; but &quot;in the latter half of the 20th century, the idea of progress was replaced by an anti-scientific environmentalism based on a mythological primitive harmony that has never existed.&quot;[9]
Deming has criticized &quot;sustainability,&quot; as a misleading concept, a chimera,&quot;[10] at least as far as it pertains to technology, pointing out that &quot;present day technologies and practices are never sustainable, nor should we expect them to be...projections of current technology into the future are always invalid because technology does not stand still...technological progress is our birthright and destiny.&quot;[11] In 2003, speaking at a meeting of the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association, Deming said &quot;I think it would be foolish to try to predict what our technological capabilities will be (100 years from now), just as it would have been foolish for someone from the 19th century to try to predict what we could do today.&quot;[12
 

So in conclusion i would like to say yes, i am liberal i believe in family planning and S**T in fact if i was not ready i&#039;d get my pregnant girlfriend aborted, however i would say don&#039;t get mislead focus your tax money on education and maybe killing corrupt officials lol (since treason is punishable by death and corruption has betrayed our country) just kiddin i mean putting them behind bars. and F**k the bill, get a life and focus on or come up with better solutions. also if you really want this bill approved then redo your constitution thanx.

the answer to the question how many enlightened people do we have on the planet is: surprise, not enough!!</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ladies and gents, hold your horses. i will honestly say that before i conducted some research on the subject matter i was totally pro stand on this bill. however since i myself have taken things in consideration and has decided not to base my opinion on speculations i have put things in perspective and is able to see things clearer. Before i go any further i would like to say that I am not catholic, and is much less of a christian. I am very open minded, (liberal) pro gay, womens rights etc. For goodness sakes i am born both a citizen of the philippines and the US. I grew up in the US where abortion &amp; contraception is allowed.<br />
However  i disagree with this bill not because it gives us information, but because it is the wrong approach to our problems. Over population is not the question we should be asking(how many people are on<br />
earth).   The question we should be asking is how many enlightened people are on earth. (educated) It is PROVEN that women and men who are EDUCATED ARE NOT LIKELY to have many children, or have kids UNPREPARED. yes i know the bill says it will give people information hey, jeeze get on the internet read books. (no i&#8217;m not a nerd in fact i have modeled in the US and here.) my point is if this bill is not passed ur not getting deprived of information. Now secondly you have the phillippine constitution. and this bill violates a S**T  load of laws namely</p>
<p>Article XVI, Section 9<br />
Section 9. The State shall protect consumers from trade malpractices and from substandard or hazardous products. (yes drug companies will profit by making you panic. it&#8217;s everywhere panic=sales and business. a funny example is a few months ago in dallas, texas they announced that it may be hit by a freakin hurricane. the idotic people decided to buy food and supplies to protect themselves and reinforce their homes of course it did not happen. Idiots a hurricanes only gain strength in water. texas is a fuckin desert the air is dry. of course the hurricane died before it reached the main land. point is, marketing scam like the phone operators lol) </p>
<p>Article XIII, Section 14<br />
Section 14. The State shall protect working women by providing safe and healthful working conditions, taking into account their maternal functions, and such facilities and opportunities that will enhance their welfare and enable them to realize their full potential in the service of the nation.</p>
<p>When the egg of the mother unites with the sperm of the father, a zygote forms and a new life begins. However, some of these artificial contraceptives, aside from the barrier method, doesn’t only inhibit the union of sperm and egg, but kills the life of that one-day or perhaps five-day old zygote. How? This zygote burrows in the inner layer of the uterus in order to gain nutrition from the mother, and some of these contraceptives enables the inner layer to shed off so that this zygote cannot gain nutrition, thus causing the zygote to die. That, is how some of these contraceptives deny the inherent right of the zygote to live, which is a violation of Section 5,11, and 12 of Article II of the 1987 Constitution of the Republic of the Philippines which states that “ the state recognizes the sanctity of family and shall protect and strengthen the family.. it shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn”. </p>
<p>Article II<br />
Section 5. The maintenance of peace and order, the PROTECTION OF LIFE, liberty, and property, and promotion of the general WELFARE are essential for the enjoyment by all the people of the blessings of democracy. </p>
<p>Section 11. The State values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for HUMAN RIGHTS.<br />
Section 12. The State recognizes the sanctity of family life and shall protect and strengthen the family as a basic autonomous social institution. It shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. The natural and primary right and duty of parents in the rearing of the youth for civic efficiency and the development of moral character shall receive the support of the Government.<br />
Section 13. The State recognizes the VITAL ROLE of the YOUTH in nation-building and shall PROMOTE and PROTECT their physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being. It shall inculcate in the youth patriotism and nationalism, and encourage their involvement in public and civic affairs. </p>
<p>Section 15. The State shall protect and promote the right to HEALTH of the people and instill health consciousness among them.<br />
Section 16. The State shall protect and advance the right of the people to a balanced and healthful ecology in accord with the rhythm and harmony of nature.<br />
Section 17. The State shall give priority to education, science and technology, arts, culture, and sports to foster patriotism and nationalism, accelerate social progress, and promote total human liberation and development. ( EDUCATION OR DECEPTION? yea are they gonna tell you how the pill works, how other than killing the child it makes marriages and relationships end because it affects the girls brain nad emotions? how it increases the risk of cancer in women by 480% and so on and so forth,. nah, all they will tell you is that it&#8217;s all good this is nice since they are all sales men, and you know what if i had a company that supplies this shit i&#8217;d tell you the same buy it lol.</p>
<p>now my friends you claim to be open minded then open your minds and analyze less you get called idiots!. the catholic church ain&#8217;t that bad again i am not catholic. the problem with us kids is we hate god coz he&#8217;s a form of authority like our parents s**t. grow up and think before you act! now if you think contracetives is a new thing then you are mislead. it has been done for over 1000 years, go do some research on the egyptians and europeans you&#8217;ll find out.  </p>
<p>Last but not the least the malthusian fear (meaning the earth is getting overpopulated) check this out look it up on wikipedia under malthusianism again this is not science but rather speculation)</p>
<p>Deming has identified himself with the Cornucopian school of environmental thought, and has consistently criticized Malthusian theory. In 1998, he wrote &#8220;although world population has increased by more than a factor of six over the last 200 years, we are all aware that the average standard of living has risen dramatically &#8211; in direct contradiction to Malthusian theory.&#8221;[6] Deming considers the &#8220;fundamental flaw&#8221; in Malthusian theory to be that &#8220;it fails to take into account the exponential growth in resources that occurs through technological advances.&#8221;[7] He has questioned if Malthus&#8217; hypothesis is scientific, because its adherents resist empirical falsification.[8]<br />
In a letter published in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists magazine, the Explorer, in 2002, Deming wrote that &#8220;prior to World War II, the central principle upon which our civilization was ordered was progress &#8211; the idea that the application of scientific knowledge results in improved standards of living,&#8221; but &#8220;in the latter half of the 20th century, the idea of progress was replaced by an anti-scientific environmentalism based on a mythological primitive harmony that has never existed.&#8221;[9]<br />
Deming has criticized &#8220;sustainability,&#8221; as a misleading concept, a chimera,&#8221;[10] at least as far as it pertains to technology, pointing out that &#8220;present day technologies and practices are never sustainable, nor should we expect them to be&#8230;projections of current technology into the future are always invalid because technology does not stand still&#8230;technological progress is our birthright and destiny.&#8221;[11] In 2003, speaking at a meeting of the Oklahoma Independent Petroleum Association, Deming said &#8220;I think it would be foolish to try to predict what our technological capabilities will be (100 years from now), just as it would have been foolish for someone from the 19th century to try to predict what we could do today.&#8221;[12</p>
<p>So in conclusion i would like to say yes, i am liberal i believe in family planning and S**T in fact if i was not ready i&#8217;d get my pregnant girlfriend aborted, however i would say don&#8217;t get mislead focus your tax money on education and maybe killing corrupt officials lol (since treason is punishable by death and corruption has betrayed our country) just kiddin i mean putting them behind bars. and F**k the bill, get a life and focus on or come up with better solutions. also if you really want this bill approved then redo your constitution thanx. </p>
