rh bill

my last post was almost two years ago... neways, i just have to comment on this and get this anger out of my system.... i am angry at those people who seem to think that this bill is good for women or for any citizen of the philippines... are they thinking straight? have they even read the bill? most importantly, have they UNDERSTOOD what the bill is saying and the consequences if ever it was implemented? i doubt they did.

i read an article on gmanews.tv about rh bill
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/211540/group-asks-church-think-of-women39s-health-support-rh-bill

i found this quotation funny:
"We strongly believe that couples, especially women, would be given the freedom to choose the path they will take in raising their family and have the social responsibility to act in accordance with their conscience and the means within their disposal."

i was thinking, don't we, as citizens of this country, Philippines, already have the freedom that they're asking for? why do we need that bill to become law?

currently, we already have the freedom to choose what to use when having sex... why do we need a law to tell us what we can and cannot use during sex? isn't that dictatorship?

they said it was for women's health... so that means if it's for health, the lawmakers can dictate what the citizens of this country can and cannot use? so at this time, they are only targeting those things used for sex or family planning.... what's next? since it's for health, they can most probably also tell (dictate) us what we can and cannot use when we are exercising... it's for health, right? what else, food, since they are very much concerned about our health, they can also dictate what we can and cannot eat.... wow, applause for the lawmakers. ano 'to, martial law?

the bill also mentioned about abortion (w/c i think some media news programs fail to mention).... there are already women having it, although illegally... so is that the purpose of this bill? to make abortion legal? i dont know...

neways, those arguing over the bill seem to not see those points i have mentioned

we already have the freedom to choose, what is the bill for? really, seriously
if they can dictate what's good for women's health, is that still called freedom?
