Reproductive Health Bill Approved in Bicameral Committee.

     The RH Bill has been finally approved in the Bicameral Committee conference and will soon take effect once signed by Pres. Aquino. This will mean that Government will provide the much needed information dissemination to the public and to provide free contraceptives to interested couples.

     The poor folks will be greatly benefited by this bill, especially those that can't afford to raise multiple off springs and provide them with their basic needs such as food, shelter clothing and proper education. I don't really understand the people that are against the RH Bill, more so the Catholic Church that insists that this bill promotes abortion and encourages crimes against women.

     I mean, since when did teaching young people or couples how to control their reproductive urges from ending up into unwanted pregnancies resulted in criminality? Sex education will not promote promiscuity among the youth; hell, the youth will end up having sex anyway because of their curiosity! Teaching them how to use contraceptives will help them avoid ending up pregnant in their teenage years. Condoms will also prevent the young and the restless from catching sexually transmitted diseases.

     It's a relief that the RH Bill has finally been approved and will soon become a law after the President signs it. I hope this will soon resolve the growing problem of having too many kids out on the streets that are committing not only petty crimes but also serious offenses because their parents cannot provide for them.

     Rumors has it that Congress will soon tackle the passage of the Divorce Bill soon, now that will make a lot more bishops and priests going apeshit and end up rallying on the streets! Lol. But that is also an important law and we should have it soon, we can't be left out forever. It's only the Philippines now that has no divorce law all over the world. Even Rome, Italy has a divorce law and the Vatican has no problems with it. It's only in this country that the clergy is always interfering with the Government laws and policies and sometimes it's messing up the whole nation.

     Our religious leaders don't care much about the Separation of the Church and State, maybe it's about time they start paying their taxes too....
