RH Bill. Yes or No?

[carpediem]

Rumor going on that the Church is telling proRH bill people not to take communion...
so much for separation of the church and the state...
I find this disgusting move by the church.

The CBCP said this is not true, and accused pro-RH of black propaganda, saying this would boomerang on the pro-RH camp.

Now, look who's getting boomeranged.

Accusation of black propaganda boomerangs on CBCP

I super AGREE with this RH bill.

kung may concern ang nanay at tatay na di nila kaya mapigilan ang gumawa ng bata eh mag condom sila ta di pa nila kayang buhayin at pinapabayaan lang nila. BAD yun!

yung mga tanong di nakakaangat sa buhay yung ang dapat mag control kasi sila yung hot na hot. sila yung daming anak. may kapit bahay nga kami anak nya 13 na. walang naka tapos. hayst.

A CALL FOR UNITY

On Ash Wednesday the Cathedral of the King, in Manila, Philippines gathered for Eucharist at 6:00 AM to start the Lenten Season with the imposition of ashes.

Throughout Epiphany, we were reminded of the awesomeness of Christ's power in our lives. We have been repeatedly told that this power we posses is the same power that brought up Christ from the dead therefore there is nothing that could stop us to manifest His image to a world that needs to see Christ.

However, man has weaknesses. He has the tendency to rely on his own strength and become arrogant and start claiming this power as His own. This is why we journey through the 40 days of Lent to bring back a balance into our lives starting with the imposition of ash on our forehead. It is a visible sign which reminds us that we are merely dust and to dust we shall return. It is by the power of God's breathing life into us that we have become like Him and not by our own efforts.

Lent calls us to an awareness of our self-centeredness. It is a time to evaluate our lives and put into proper place what God has given us to build up others. God trusts each of us to take what we have been given not for personal gain.

On Ash Wednesday, Abp. Loren T. Hines enjoined everyone to declare our stand against the controversial RH Bill (Reproductive Health Bill) which has started to be heard in the Senate on Shrove Tuesday...a day when man should be bidding farewell to the flesh. What an insult to the Giver of Life that men would choose this day to fight His principles.

We must declare our protest by wearing our ALL LIFE IS SACRED t-shirts or any plain black t-shirt everyday for the rest of the season. Streamers are being printed to be hanged on the gates of our homes as well as bumper stickers for our cars.

Members of the church in Manila are also campaigning among friends, in and out of the country, to change their Facebook profile pictures to ALL LIFE IS SACRED. Among the very first ones to respond to this move is Patriarch Craig Bates and Fr. Terry Gensemer.

We must make a stand together for righteousness and truth; and, not be deceived by the wiles of men who are selfish and desirous of material gain. This is a disease that plagues men of all nations! Men of God must stand together and fight this battle.

Life was given to man as a gift that we may make visible God's glory and manifest his image and likeness in a world what has been corrupted by sin.

Together let us make a stand that ALL LIFE IS SACRED!

It does not mean that when one supports the RH Bill, one does not respect the sacredness of life. In fact, the intention of the RH Bill is to uphold the integrity of life -- life that is given by God and God alone.

RH bill is GOOD.
Abortion is SUPER BAD.

^ but many anti-RH people equate RH Bill with abortion.

which is of course a judgment based on misinformation

[carpediem]

Academicians and scientists decried the misuse of science and the abuse of power by some educators in waging a propaganda campaign against House Bill 4244, the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill now being deliberated on in Congress.

Why the Church allows Natural Birth Control (but not Contraception)

di kaya susunod dito ay ang ang pag limit na  sa number ng anak

[joshgroban]

but it was already implemented sa other country.... is the number of children really the cause of poverty? theres really more to RH bill ...thats why the church is so much against it

[carpediem]

That's one of the misconceptions, that if the RH Bill is passed, it will lead to limiting the number of children a couple can have.

The number of children is not the cause of poverty. It worsens the effect of poverty.

When I see our charity patients, talagang napapaisip ako na dapat may RH bill na na-aprub...

when i see charity patients... i see the big difference between rich and poor...

isa rin yan sa consequence ng overpopulation eh... however, i could not deny that this is a sad fact. we all want something that would benefit all. egalitarianism comes into mind when we don't want social stratification to happen. but practically, it's not beneficial to all too.

i want to make a documentary film tungkol dito Doc..
hindi ko makalimutan yung nakita ko...
