RH Bill

Lately, there have been a lot of commotions regarding the infamous RH bill also known as “The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2011” – Pro’s against the Anti’s, Church against the State. In my opinion, as a Pro-Life and also a Pro-RH Bill, there are a lot of loopholes on the said act. First is on the language used, I am perfectly aware that English is the most appropriate language to be used in such text that is mostly consist of terms that has no translatable terminologies on our own language however, I also believe that it should be reader friendly so as our countrymen who may not understand deep English terms can at least comprehend. Another is that a lot of people are not really aware of what is written in the RH bill but only basing their stands on what they watch or hear on the news or even during the Sunday masses. Lastly, I wish that the Church and the State may be able to work collaboratively in acting upon the issues of our country and not just bashing each other. I mean, RH bill may have disadvantageous parts but personally, I think it is advantageous most especially if some parts will be revised and compromised for the good of everyone. I strongly believe that there has a chance to consolidate both the views of the Anti and Pro RH bill to create a better act concerning Reproductive Health.
