Life does not start and end with the possible union of the human male and female gamete but beyond it, and until death.

And so the debate’s still on with the Church, particularly the CBCP, spearheading the anti-RH campaign. I don’t get it. Why is it that the Church continues on defying the very basic of human nature, that is, humans are capable of making a choice?

I think the Church has to consider human nature in her effort to reject a bill that would provide Filipinos a choice to a quality life. Man is a thinking being. He has the faculty of choosing what is right and wrong and that has been the case since “Adam and Eve”. If he chooses to subscribe to the RH program, so be it. The Church has to accept it because in the end, it’s still the choice of every individual that would prevail.

The intervention of the Church must stay within the confines of her congregation and not in the matters of the state. She should continue teaching the values she believe is right for more than 300 hundred years in the Philippines. She should exert more effort on how to effectively inculcate these values so that more people would choose her ideologies over others. More importantly perhaps, she should follow what she preaches.

Life does not start and end with the possible union of the human male and female gamete but beyond it, and until death. Life is not only the ability of breathing air but more on the quality of living while it continues to prevail in the harsh environment of the real world. The RH bill is a choice to a quality life and it should not be ignored nor rejected.
