- Yes to RH (Philippine Reproductive Health Bill): Online Petition
- I’m Free To Decide, and Guess What? So Are You.
- What’s Your Stand On The RH Bill?
It’s about time we go out of our old and outdated 19th century practices.
It’s about time we take matters into our own hands.
This is our country’s future anyway.
This is our children’s future at stake here.
And because we are “Free To Decide.”
It’s about time we say Yes to:
- Information and access to natural and modern family planning
- Maternal, infant and child health and nutrition
- Promotion of breast feeding
- Prevention of abortion and management of post-abortion complications
- Adolescent and youth health
- Prevention and management of reproductive tract infections, HIV/AIDS and STDs
- Elimination of violence against women
- Counseling on sexuality and sexual and reproductive health
- Treatment of breast and reproductive tract cancers
- Male involvement and participation in RH;
- Prevention and treatment of infertility and
- RH education for the youth
Does all this sound evil to you? It’s not. Know the Facts and Fallacies of the Reproductive Health Bill and arm yourself with correct information. The bill is currently gaining momentum. As of last report, 17 lawmakers have added their signatures. Push for the enactment of this bill into law.
It’s about time we move forward. It’s about time we say YES to the Reproductive Health Bill.

Dear Friends,
Greetings!
The struggle for the passage of the Reproductive Bill (RH) in Congress rages on. The Reproductive Health Advocacy Network (RHAN) through our org, the Democratic Socialist Women of the Phils. (DSWP) initiated an online petition that we request you to support by attaching your signature. Please go to this site:
http://www.PetitionOnline.com/rhan2008/petition.html
We hope to gather ONE MILLION SIGNATURES to show our legislators that there is a wide support base for the bill’s passage despite what the opposition says. We will present the signatures both to the House of Representatives (HOR) and Senate within September as we are waiting for the schedule of plenary deliberations in the HOR and the release of the Senate Committee on Health’s report.
Please support the petition. It will not take more than 5 minutes of your time. More than 10 women die daily due to pregnancy and childbirth-related causes. The big bulk of those who die are poor women at the prime of their lives. This is simply unacceptable and must be stopped. Congress has the power to do this. Kindly forward this mail to all your friends.Thank you very much.

I really don’t know what you are talking about :P I really don’t have time watching TV or socialize lately so I really don’t have new information about the world today.
@angelo! hi! :) this is about the reproductive health bill.. try reading Know the Facts and Fallacies of the Reproductive Health Bill to know the details about this bill.. :) this bill aims to eventually eradicate poverty through population control and management..
Hahahahaha… There is only one phrase needed in this conversation “management of post abortion” – as in there will be abortion…That is against the Catholic and Muslim faiths that form the basis of the Philippines’ morality… against the Constitution… and against scientific fact that life begins at conception.
[...] constitution (as compared to the BJE MOA). I’ve said this before and I will say it again. Let’s support The Philippine Reproductive Health Bill. If you are indeed PRO-Life, I am sure you have an idea of what “life” actually is. [...]
I fully support this bill! The church’s argument that this bill is pro-abortion is a load of BS. Use of a condom prevents the union of egg and sperm (not to mention it prevents spread of a multitude of viruses including HIV). Thus, even the definition “life begins at conception” fails -> no union of egg and sperm means no conception and therfore no life. And how can you abort (i.e. terminate a life while in gestation) when there is no life to start with?
@John Philip Lim: thanks for the support. we must increase public awareness in order to secure more support, though. this bill — like any other bill, if enacted into a law, is only as good as its implementation, so that’s what concerns me most. and i’ve read the bill and i see nothing about abortion being promoted or condoned. closed-minded people will always find fault in things they don’t believe in. the debate will continue and i couldn’t care less if it does. i am after the results — economic and social. and while i respect each person’s choice and belief, i see nothing wrong with the bill. thanks again and best regards to you! :)
Please, learn to tell the difference between contraceptives and abortifacients.
Idiot.
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Pax!
Let’s DO NOT be encouraged about what the Philippine Legislature is campaigning, that is, legalizing the IMMORALITY of SEX even it’s outside the wedlock and preventing the production of life.
They are destroying the existence of NATURAL LAW. They are making the youth of this generation, as well the future ones, to be engaged with sex without thinking and considering the DIVINE LAW, also, becoming impudent to their parents and the society.
Will you mind the possibility of “SUING your parent’s in the court because you are GUILTY of pre-marital sex, in the very young age, when your parents become aware of it and get disappointed”- can you imagine the irrationality of these lawmakers, as well the Department of Health who pursue this immorality, an evidence was when they gave condoms last Valentine’s Day?
Be awaken and be enthusiastic! Law of GOD is the SUPREME LAW, if the law of man intervene, the DIVINE LAW will PREVAIL!
