Reproductive Health Bill 5043 [MERGED]

[andywesteast]

The problem with some of the posters here is that they have the gall to condemn the Catholic Church and yet their knowledge of the situation and the considerations that should be taken in apparently falls short.

As for one even a second year high school student knows when life begins as it is taught in biology... life begins when mitosis occurs with the sperm having fertilized the egg. Mitosis shows that life has began when the action of the genes begin their operations in fulfillment of the definition of life.

Can the Philippines still feed it's own population without relying on imported rice?

Given this population increase since the 1960s:

The Philippines Triples Its Rice Yield

ScienceDaily (Feb. 25, 2010) — In the last fifty years, the Philippines has more than tripled its rice yield, while the world average rice yield has increased only about 2.3 times.

Despite being criticized as a poor rice producer because of its status as the world's biggest rice importer, the Philippines has actually done remarkably well in raising its rice yields from 1.16 tons per hectare in 1960 (according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization) to 3.59 tons per hectare in 2009 (according to the Republic of the Philippines, Department of Agriculture).

Remember when in the 1970s the Philippines actually had surplus rice to export overseas?

Yet today, despite of the reported tripling of rice production, we still have to import tonnes of rice just to feed our millions of filipinos.

Looking at the population chart above, it doesn't take a genius to see why.

and somebody has the balls to say that overpopulation is just a myth.....

[SIZE="4"]CBCP to suspend talk with Palace on RH bill[/SIZE]
By Evelyn Macairan (The Philippine Star)
Updated February 22, 2011 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Catholic bishops will suspend their dialogue with Malacañang on the Reproductive Health (RH) program of the government.

Bishop Nereo Odchimar, Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) president, wrote a letter to President Aquino yesterday informing him of their decision.

“In view, however, of the pastoral letter that the Catholic Bishops issued on the matter last Jan. 31, and considering the speed in the ongoing legislative processes both in the Lower House and in Senate, I deem it prudent to suspend in the meantime further talks with the Executive Department,” read the letter.

Odchimar said the decision to put the dialogue on hold was also based on the ad limina apostolorum of the Filipino bishops to the Vatican.

“Moreover, the next regular meeting of the CBCP Permanent Council, when we can have the opportunity of addressing these developments, will be on the last week of March,” read the letter.

Representatives from the administration and the CBCP are supposed to meet for a third dialogue sometime this month.

I guess the church is going to have a dialogue among it's bishops on which politicians to excommunicate?

[SIZE="3"]Planet could be 'unrecognizable' by 2050, experts say[/SIZE]

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A growing, more affluent population competing for ever scarcer resources could make for an "unrecognizable" world by 2050, researchers warned at a major US science conference Sunday.

The United Nations has predicted the global population will reach seven billion this year, and climb to nine billion by 2050, "with almost all of the growth occurring in poor countries, particularly Africa and South Asia," said John Bongaarts of the non-profit Population Council.

To feed all those mouths, "we will need to produce as much food in the next 40 years as we have in the last 8,000," said Jason Clay of the World Wildlife Fund at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

"By 2050 we will not have a planet left that is recognizable" if current trends continue, Clay said.

The swelling population will exacerbate problems, such as resource depletion, said John Casterline, director of the Initiative in Population Research at Ohio State University.

But incomes are also expected to rise over the next 40 years -- tripling globally and quintupling in developing nations -- and add more strain to global food supplies.

People tend to move up the food chain as their incomes rise, consuming more meat than they might have when they made less money, the experts said.

It takes around seven pounds (3.4 kilograms) of grain to produce a pound of meat, and around three to four pounds of grain to produce a pound of cheese or eggs, experts told AFP.

"More people, more money, more consumption, but the same planet," Clay told AFP, urging scientists and governments to start making changes now to how food is produced.

Population experts, meanwhile, called for more funding for family planning programs to help control the growth in the number of humans, especially in developing nations.

"For 20 years, there's been very little investment in family planning, but there's a return of interest now, partly because of the environmental factors like global warming and food prices," said Bongaarts.

"We want to minimize population growth, and the only viable way to do that is through more effective family planning," said Casterline.

Population control is more than just a national concern, it is also a global crisis if we left it to "natural means" and to "God".

Reminds me of a educational film. It showed a pack of rats and limited food resource. The rats multipled like crazy while their food remained the same. The rats became frenzied due to hunger and resorted to eating each other... Maybe they should show that on public TV. Anyone for Soylent Green?

[roninblade]

Anyone for Soylent Green?

Thorn: It's people. Soylent Green is made out of people. They're making our food out of people. Next thing they'll be breeding us like cattle for food. You've gotta tell them. You've gotta tell them! \

That movie was off by a few decades.

Massive rally today vs. RH bill – bishopes
BY CARLA GOMEZ

Thousands of Negrenses opposed to the Reproductive Health Bill are taking their protest to the streets of Bacolod City in a Church-led rally this afternoon, and to members of Congress via Facebook and text brigades.

Bacolod Bishop Vicente Navarra yesterday called on the public to join and pray for a huge rally today to fight for the protection of life, especially of the unborn at conception, by opposing the Reproductive Health Bill, also known as the Responsible Parenthood Bill.

The rally is spearheaded by the Citizens Alliance for the Protection of Human Life and will be participated in not only by Catholics but also by Protestants, Muslims and members of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente to stress the importance of the need to protect life, Navarra, honorary chairman of CAPH-Life, said.

Bacolod Rep. Anthony Golez who is opposed to the RH bill will also join the rally to reiterate his commitment to the fight against its passage, Fr. Greg Patiño, CAPH- Life secretary general, said.

He said they will also take the fight to cyberspace through Facebook, especially on the FB walls of the members of the Lower House and Senate supporting the RH bill, and through text brigades.

“We call on our legislators to act according to their moral conscience and oppose the RH bill that amounts to the killing of life, and makes government an agent of death,” Patiño said.

Navarra said the Catholic Church has not reached a decision yet on whether to deny congressmen who will support the RH Bill communion.

“Let’s pray that the situation will not reach that level…The Church will only resort to that kind of stand if the perversion reaches such a magnitude that really calls for it,” he added.

The bishop said he calls support for the RH Bill “perversion” because it will lead to rampant abortion and promiscuous *** with the promotion of the use of contraceptive.

Lyndon Caña, chairman of CAPH-Life, said Thailand that is the number one producer of contraceptives has the highest number of HIV-AIDS cases in Asia.

There is a clear Constitutional provision that life begins at conception, Caña said.

Modesto Sa-onoy, CAPH-Life vice chairman, slammed Fr. Joaquin Bernas for belittling demonstrations to express opposition to the RH bill.

Patiño said after tomorrow’s rally CAPH-Life will also send a manifesto opposing the Reproductive Health Bill and Responsible Health Bill to President Benigno Aquino, and members of the Lower House and Senate, which has been signed by 77 organizations and individuals in Negros Occidental.

Meanwhile, he said thousands are expected to attend today’s rally coming from the 70 parishes and chaplaincies, lay organizations, and all Catholic schools in the Diocese of Bacolod, and from various sectors and other religious groups.

Participants of the rally will hold caravans from northern and southern Negros to converge in Bacolod at noon. They will then march to the Bacolod public plaza starting 1 p.m. from the Bacolod City National High School in the southeast areas, Lupit Church from the south, Villamonte Rotunda near the Burgos cemetery at the north east and the Capitol Lagoon Park from the north.

The rally will begin at 2 p.m. with Dr. Rene Josef Bulleger – director of AIDS-Free Phil. and Human Life International, Fr. Melvin Castro of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines Espiscopal Committee on Family, Bishop Navarra and Caña as speakers.

The rally today is only the start of more protests against the RH bill, Patiño added.*CPG

Don't they love to use Thailand as an example?

But isn't also that Thailand have a local custom of manhood for the "boy" to have *** with a lady (example: local prostitute). I think this is one of the main reasons why Thailand has one of the higher STD rates (that and the flourishing *** trade with tourists).

It is not because they produce condoms.

Personally I find it more disturbing that the church will use school children as unwitting pawns to use in their "fight" against the government to pass the RH Bill.

It is already using dirty tactics.
