Close Encounter with the Close Minded Kind, the Anti #RHBill Peep (Part 1)

Satire Poster about RH Bill :) Don't take this seriously, just smile, these are not true, because I wear an underwear.

I have been encountering these tweets from Anti-RH people.  Well, it's fun to exchange tweets with them specially that you're exercising your logic and reasoning to battle their narrowness.

Presenting, the Filozopo: 

The_Filozopher: @yffar03 @ejomlexus Nanay ko, 7 beses nanganak ... 90 na siya! #rhbill = kasinungalingan

 @yffar03: @The_Filozopher @ejomlexus My Lola gave birth 13 times, 1 child died at birth , none of the 12 finished their studies. #RHBill = reality

Funny how he did not respond to that tweet anymore. Here's another one.

The_Filozopher: @beckdelacruz This video isn't a reason to support #rhbill. It reflects a need for better protection for mother & child youtube.com/watch?v=i2Adim… 

yffar03: @The_Filozopher @beckdelacruz I disagree. Give everyone an access to RH Services, these wont happen. youtube.com/watch?v=i2Adim… #rhbill 

Well, I stand by my principles because I believe that the RH Bill is really something that the country needs. I have been reading his tweets against RH Bill and it really shows how narrow his objections are. Try reading this:

The_Filozopher: pro #rhbill alarmed by beggars in the street & feel the need for #rhbill. Bakit? tatapunan mo sila ng contraceptive?

First, we are alarmed because there is an increasing rate of poverty in our country. We are not stupid to throw contraceptives to the less fortunate in the streets. He even used a politically incorrect term "beggar". RH Bill gives equal access to everyone, hence, increasing the quality of life in the Philippines. A big population does not equate to Economic Growth. 

The_Filozopher : Mga deboto ng Nazareno, libre. Mga deboto ng #rhbill rally, P350/hakot. LOL

He always use this P350/hakot idea, he can't even prove this. Why would RH Bill advocates even give out P350 just to have people to attend a RH Bill when we have been pushing for it because it is something that we think would benefit the country?  At least we are not like CBCP who would ask the people not to vote any legislator who will vote YES for the RH Bill. Power tripping, That's even worst. 

If there's one thing that Anti-RH bill peeps does the best, this is to annoy you until you give up talking to them. I'm sorry Mr. Balce, but I don't think your stands are even worth using.

Rock Hard for RH with Carlos Celdran

Last November 26, 2011, I was asked to sit and be a part of the panel with Carlos Celdran and fellow Pro-RH Advocates Dr. Junice Melgar, Leloy Claudio, and Dr. Guy Claudio. There were different points that were given by me and my fellow guest speakers regarding the RH Bill. On my part, I focused more on the health of my fellow LGBT individuals that includes the increasing number of HIV cases in the Philippines, sexually transmitted infection and diseases, and reproductive health concerns. I wasn't prepared to answer the different questions, but I think I made my self clear with regards to why the RH Bill should be passed.

I joined Occupy for RH

 

Controversial. This is what RH bill is as of the moment. A decade has passed and the RH Bill hasn't been voted and was delayed. Why do I think the RH Bill should be passed?

I am a son. I would want my mother and other mothers out there to get access to reproductive health services and family planning. A woman is always at risk when she is pregnant and when giving birth. A woman's reproductive organs are sensitive and should be taken care of. Reproductive Health Bill addresses the concern about the safety of our mothers' lives. If you love your mother, support the RH Bill.

I am a Filipino.  I am the eldest among six (6) siblings and apparently, we are all at the same age bracket. My brother are all studying at the same time and my father's salary is just minimum. My case isn't the worst because there are more out there who are dozens in the family and whose earnings are just 50Php a day, or worst, none at all. Over population with a limited amount of wage and abundant unemployment. Yes, let's say poverty is because of not allocating the resources properly. However, it's just a part of it. Over population can cause poverty and we must control it. If you love your country, support the RH Bill.

I also went to Occupy for RH earlier and had fun talking to the intellectuals there. People who are using their critical thinking skills in order to fight for what is right. These people who are upholding their principles because they are using their brains and not following a set of structure that the society is telling them based on a "holy book" that would not allow you to eat pig and would even legalize slavery if read literally. 

Let's support them by:

• Going there personally and expressing our support
• Donate food or anything that would help them 
• Share the word and express your thoughts on social sites regarding your support

With these small ways, WE WILL GUARANTEE THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY.

from: http://rhbill.org/occupy/

It has been ten years since the first RH Bill, and after countless debates and delays we are no closer to a vote. The democratic process has stalled at the hands of time-wasting legislators and bullying bishops.
With mounting frustration we remind our public servants that for every day they delay the vote, Filipino families around the country lose their mothers. The time for delay is over. The time for a vote is now.
Starting tomorrow, November 21, RH Advocates from various organizations will occupy the park across the South Wing Gate of Congress, and launch a massive and sustained campaign to remind our Senators and Members of Congress of the urgency to vote on the Reproductive Health Bill before the year ends.

Pro-RH lawmakers, celebrities, artists, government officials, civil society and non-government groups, business, academe, youth, religious and non-religious sectors will show their support at this mass action, and advocates will camp out in front of the South Wing Gate for as long as it takes for their voices to be heard.
We urge you to join us, tomorrow and onwards, and lend your voice to a movement that will save Filipino lives. Various activities will be held at the camp and at the South Wing Gate, such as a noise barrage, cultural and solidarity nights, pickets, creative and symbolic protests, actions that will make our legislators listen.
For ten years we have been ignored, the cries of the People drowned out by the powerful few. But no more. Together we will stand, together we will shout, and together we will Occupy for RH till our legislators vote for RH now.
