FR. ARELLANO WILLINGLY DISTORTS TRUTHS ON RH BILL. BUT TO SCARE FILIPINOS THAT THIS COUNTRY WILL LEAD TO HOLOCAUST OR GENOCIDE...HAHHA...UNBELIEVABLE!
CATHOLIC ARGUMENTS AGAINST RH BILL ARE SPIRITUALLY BACKWARD AND MISINFORMED
Tuesday March 9, 2010 (Click link below)
..............Fr. Arellano also believes that the RH Bill will lead to genocide. Again, this is an unthinking assertion, pure emo. Many countries have already legalized abortion, and it has not become a Holocaust like what the Nazis did in World War II. A holocaust is when so many people have been killed in one single time, like in thousands and millions. Now, would abortion in the Philippines reach that point? For me, it would be a greater holocaust to see so many children going hungry because their parents just wanted sex and didn't care how many children they'd make from it.
There are valid arguments against the RH Bill, such as punishments when a company refuses to provide reproductive health services. This has been stated to be an attack on free enterprise, because it dictates how a company should conduct its business. I would agree that this is a part of the bill to work on. Yet I would rather let the bill pass, and the lawmakers can fix this clause later. But if you want to oppose the RH Bill, Fr. Arellano's arguments are not the way to go.
Fr. Arellano says, "the real issue is about life." I agree with that. But part of this real issue is to uplift the dignity of life. When children are born and left alive to be forced to suffer, their dignity is reduced. And this is equivalent to being dead. Children never asked to be born. While just not bearing children is the best choice for the couple, the problem is that Filipinos are hard-headed. They will engage in sex to enjoy themselves and forget problems even if it would lead to more problems later on because of the load of children. They even like sex with non-spouses! Thus, providing birth control measures is admittedly a stopgap solution, but it is a needed stopgap, and it will help avoid degradations of the dignity of life.
I don't think people should worry about the RH Bill an as "abortion machine," because it does not enforce nor require abortion. Rather, it just provides the environment for the service to be possible. In the end, the use of abortion is a personal choice that weighs on the personal conscience, not on the law.
Fr. Arellano's response to the RH Bill is appalling. If it is the Catholic stance, it would do serious harm. It is possible that he made the response on impulse, and I do not know if he maintains the same stance today. But the impact of those ideas remains the same today; the idea that sending more people abroad is good (thus exposing the families further to separations of members) contradicts the Catholic Church's claim to being a family-oriented church. These opinions also deny the population problem and other issues that are so clear for all to see, and will actually contribute to making people poorer.
Make no mistake, though. I am a Christian. But I doubt that Fr. Arellano's opinions are Christ-inspired, because they only care about upholding certain "principles" at the cost of the people's welfare. Opposing the RH Bill is not in itself wrong for me, but Fr. Arellano is certainly using the wrong reasons. If the Catholic Church supports these reasons, it is a significant contributor to the "damaged culture" of the Philippines and is one of the causes of why the country lags behind in comparison to the rest of the world. Clearly, the opinion of Fr. Arellano demonstrates how the people are kept in spiritual backwardness.
I think each one of us should make our own individual opinion and shake off the shackles of organized religion from our thinking in order to make a better decision and opinion. There are after all Catholics who support the RH Bill, and have no sear on their conscience because of it.

Philippine Reproductive Health Bill: A Moral Evilby AHFInternational20,965 views
@carmel350 My dear "Pill" is a very broad term. Under RH bill (Philippines), pill refers to medication for contraception not abortion. Pill is not the only form of contraception.
RH Bill respects life, it doesn't condone any form of taking life.

@carmel350 "pill" i kinda checked in the dictionary, and referred to as a medical drug with a specific purpose. didn't really bluntly said "a tool for abortion" yep, there are pills used for abortion. but in the pills referred in the RH bill, are pills for contraception. furthermore, these pills are thoroughly researched by medical society, men of the academe, not some doc quacks. but i think using condoms is more preferable for me.
