Less children = reproductive health

The bill's main author, Excel Legman, said the measure would provide "free and full access to adequate and relevant information on reproductive health and a full range of family methods and devices," excluding abortion.

Any health care worker who withholds or provides incorrect information about "reproductive health"...

The constant relating of “health” to “intentional infertility” is nothing new to us in the USA, and it looks like the word games are also being well used by the population control proponents in the Catholic Philippines.

But it should be a stretch to think of “reproductive health” as being purposely barren and infertile. It can be more properly called “reproductive sickness”.

I hope that such a beautiful country with such wonderful families and culture can withstand the pressure to such a short term cost saving vision. Why emulate the literally dying European cultural model based on the parent’s desire for ease and economic maximization, while sacrificing the future? I hope the Philippines will instead continue to follow what is eternal and true, and so preserve the joy of life that shines in their culture.
