Resolved: The Reproductive Health Bills should be passed into law in the Philippines.

1Sexual/Reproductive Health Care Programs: Promotes positive sex education and other health services (Free. Medical or Legal). First of all i would like my opponent know that the Philippine constitution says, andclearly says thatthe State’s full support for the natural and primary right and duty of parents in the rearing of the youth for the development of moral character (Article II, Section 12). For many Filipinos, sexuality is inseparable from morality. Under the cited constitutional guarantee, thus, parents have the primary right and duty to teach matters of sexuality and reproductive health to their children, consistent with their religious convictions and moral beliefs. the government isonlythe supporting role. In this bill sex education is mandatory. the government develops this curriculum and parents are not involved when actually the parents have the primary right to teach their children about sexuality education. And i don't believe that it promotes positive sex education. If this bill is passed then many students will have access to these condoms and they to their partners will say let's do this.... let's do that. And for further clarification condoms aren't really working 100 %.Condoms leak, rip, slip, fall off, and can be defective. And my opponent mentioned about medical services. What is the use of the medical care provided by the RH Bill when there are existing laws people(esp. women) like Magna Carta for Women, Constitutional laws providing Health care for people and also Philhealth. And sex ed is taught in the subject MAPEH or music, arts P.E. and health. 2Protects/Saves the health of the people (esp. women) My opponent mentions about women victimized more and killed when being pregnant. Well, 75% of the cause of that is shortage or loss of prenatal care, maternal care. We need doctors, nurses, midwives these i accept without hesitation. But i am not in favor of these contraceptives. Why should we spend billions for these contraceptives that cause cancer, breast cancer. I am wondering why these RH people including most likely says that it prevents ovarian cancer, prevents HIV/AIDS. Huh? What. You will still be dead. What is the need for prevention of this ovarian cancer and HIV/AIDS when you have breast cancer? 3Protects/Saves babies when women are saved from pregnancy? PLS. read explanation 1 and 2. 4By popular votes of the majority of the Filipino people. What about those who disagree. But i just want my opponent to know that the decision of the people will change, and a true nationwide survey is not based on 1,200 adults but to every Filipino. If you want to you can survey to 97 million Filipinos.5 Freedom of Choice: A fundamental right. I dont know about my opponent but even though without the RH bill there are government and non-government programs that promote family panning. If you would come here in the philippines, programs which promote family planning are visible. Some arguments against the RH Bill my opponent thinked he refuted. "Contraceptives (particularly condoms) are bad."Well they are bad. they cause cancer particularly breast cancer."Sex Education will corrupt the minds of our children."just as i said before it does not have a positive effect on students. See my explanation on your point 2 above."Once this bill is passed, people will engage in premarital sex."what do you think, of course it would. But i think you're in favor of this "premarital sex". And premarital sex is immorality, therefore premarital sex destroys the morality of the society. "The RH Bill is wrong because it is immoral, it is against God." To clarify the argument this is a matter of if it is against God or not. I think the answer is obvious enough to comprehend. As I have said earlier if this bill is passed, people will engage in premarital sex. And both of us will agree even though many people today are doing that it is still wrong and immoral. And I believe God doesn't support immorality in fact he is against it. Therefore “The RH Bill is wrong because it is immoral, it is against God." Questions for my opponent1. If the Reproductive Health Bill is for health, why promote oral contraceptive pills when it is known for causing breast and cervical cancer?2. Why is there no provision in the Reproductive Health Bill to educate women in the adverse effects of using artificial contraception if the RH Bill promotes women's health?3. According to the latest news the budget intended for R.H Bill is 731 million, instead of spending part of this amount for artificial contraception, why not spend it to feed the street children and provide them with decent home and education?4. In Sec.10 of the said Bill it classified contraception as essential medicine, by the word itself "medicine" it connotes something we drink or inject, then why is it I.U.D which is not a medicine but a device is included under the ambiguous term essential medicine?5. Evidently in countries that vigorously promotes condom (Thailand, India and Africa) the cases of A.I.D.S did not decrease rather it doubled, then why promote condom even if it is not effective?i await for my opponent's response
