Camz+Bernardez+on+RH+Bill

Let me start by discussing the population of the Philippines. According to the CIA World Factbook estimates the Philippine population at 99,900,117 as of July 2010. Looking at this details it was also said that our country is considered to be the 12th most populated country in the world. With such a small place we are greatly increasing and increasing our population. Now why did I discuss the population? Well regarding the topic RH Bill first thing that comes to mind why I am pro RH bill is the growing population of our country. If we think about it the more our population grow the greater the problems may occur. With Rh Bill it lessens and tones down the fast speeding growth of our population. If look at it, a great fraction of our population is on those who are in poverty. Meaning those who doens't have the resources anymore to have another set of children are the ones having them. At the same time this people are the ones who are having a hard time in getting jobs. With this I see no harm to it, all the fuss about the bill being anti-life are mere propaganda spread and beleived by peopl who most likely have not read or understoon the bill. What the bill merely proposes is choice when it comes to brith control or contraception. It does not mean to say, however, that the bill encourages abortives ones like after morning pills or IUDs. Its more of a preventive rather than curative type of action. Also the emphasis is on education - of making people aware of the reproductive health. Only narrow-minded individuals would take this as promulgating premarital or casual sex. Another thing I pro RH Bill because there is really a need for such bull. A lot of women are dying everyday because of pregnancies that at times are fatal to ther mother and even to the child. The Philippines, as reported by the WHO has a very high Maternal Mortality Ratio which actually states that we have a high maternal related deaths. We are promoting life, but if we allow these women to die, question is are we actually promoting life? Are we actually abiding by the UN Human Rights Convention and even in our own charter when we stipulated that it will be the stat's primary duty to protect the lives of its citizens? Rh Bill protects mothers, and it will help us in our population problem and will help us progress in the future.
