Majority of Filipinos are in favor of the passage of the controversial Reproductive Health bill now pending before Congress, according to the latest survey of Pulse Asia.
Survey results showed that 69 percent of Filipinos support the RH bill, registering 80 percent awareness of the proposed measure now pending at the House of Representatives.
Only seven percent of the 1,200 respondents or samples taken for the survey object to the passage of the proposed statute, while 24 percent were undecided on the issue, the survey showed.
The poll was taken using face-to face interviews from October 20 to October 29, 2010.
Among the major developments prior to and during the conduct of the interviews for the survey include the mixed assessment of the first 100 days in office of President Aquino, and the release of Malacañang’s review of the Incident Investigation and Review Committee’s (IIRC) report on the August 2010 Luneta hostage-taking incident.
OPINYON:
Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2008 o mas kilala bilang "RH Bill". Layunin nitong legalisahin ang paggamit ng mga contraceptives upang mapigilan ang pagdami ng populasyon, pagtuturo ng Sex Education sa mga paaralan, atbp. Ito ay mariing tinututulan ng simbahang Katoliko sapagkat malaking kasalanan ito sa Diyos. Hindi natin masisisi ang mga taong panig sa RH Bill sapagkat kalakip ng Development Act na ito ay ang iba't ibang kapakinabangan ng mga tao. Kung benepisyo lang ang pag-uusapan, oo, mayroon nga, subalit naroon din a
ng mga desbentahang tinataglay nito. Ang implikasyon nito sa ating maka-Kristiyanong pamumuhay ay magdudulot ng isang malaking pinsala, pagbubukas ng ispipan ng mga kabataan sa mga makamundong gawain na dapat ay maging sagrado at ginagawa ng may pagpapahalaga.
"Ikaw? Isa ka ba sa 69% na Filipinong sang-ayon sa RH BILL?"
