Indeed, children are beautiful. And I am not against child-bearing and youngster-rearing, because I myself was a baby several years back. But the fact that Filipino population is increasing as time goes by, it calls for a mobilization in controlling this rapid rate of births.
On one hand, it seems that I’m still on the phase of neutrality. I can’t attest the feasibility of Reproductive Health Bill, similarly with the promotions of Catholic Church in favor of natural family planning only. It’s just that the two prevailing views present benefits in their themes, yet drawbacks amidst their extremes. Well, it’s finicky to perceive sound decisions from legislators who are aware of the global dilemma in terms of overpopulation in correlation to poverty. As a matter of actuality, urban areas are the spots with highly dense number of people that the government could not definitely administer. Overcrowding, pollution, unequal distribution of essential reserves to continue existence, hyper birth and death paces will be mitigated as the population stabilized due to control and uniform dispersion of it.
However, the verities that they are deemed baptized Christians, their advocacy don’t exclude them from the divine discourses and biblical teachings of the Church. “Thou shall not kill,” an awfully unambiguous commandment of God, in which the propositions of the said bill contradicts as it contains implied abortion and contra conception.
Conversely, the bill upholds the protection of women and men in resistance to sexually transmitted diseases, like the use of condoms which was supported by Pope Benedict XVI, also aligned with the unwanted pregnancies of women and ineligibility of couples to enter the exigent world of parenthood. Nevertheless, it’s more significant to keep in mind that we are alleviating the population through just and humanitarian acts. It is on the discretion of lovers to decide about the number of kids they would have, mulling over about the resources they’re currently equipped with to sustain the toddlers, societal conditions, readiness to face new struggles and pleasures and with respect to the culture, religion, state policies and kind of era they are into.
