My dosage of FAD’s amusing story today gives me reproductive thought.
If you’re someone living in the Philippines, or a Filipino/Filipina kicking ass in some other part of the world, or just a person who hates the phrase “rhythm method,” you should SIGN UP here and be counted.
This concerns the Reproductive Bill [in the Philippines], which has become sort of controversial because the Catholics and demagogues[the angry bulldog Kit Tatad, for instance] won’t hear of it, insisting that the only way to fuck is the God-sanctioned “rhythm method,” and that the encouragement to use contraceptives like condoms would also encourage rampant fucking.
Do birds of the same feather really flock together? Maybe if you have a bird brain. But we are neither bird nor pigs.
If you opponents of the said bill thought that all Catholics are childish to consider artificial contraceptives as license to do what they considered immoral acts, think again.
We have a choice not to think this way. Better yet, we have a choice to think. And by thinking means honest understanding of the situation that may lead us to more realistic and effective solution. It is preceded by information and options.
Which is basically the essence of the Reproductive Health Bill 4110. It does not have any intentions to power trip. It just gives us options on how to decide on our reproductive health based on informed choices where freewill can be realized. Freewill is nothing without choices. It is indeed the best channel to practice what is preached.
It is high time to prove the nation that with more that 500 years under Catholic domination, the church really succeeded in MORALIZING the people by NOT exercising the feared contraception even if it is accessible.
Remember that the very essence of moral institution is to alleviate pain and suffering. If allowing unwanted children to live in subhuman condition as a pro-life advocacy, how then the alleviation of suffering and pain is defined? If you can’t see the increasing street children with no house nor decent toilets as a subhuman condition, what then is the rhythm of life?
So again, SIGNING-UP here will ensure that our country will not be populated by bird brain but by loved, sane and decent human.
