The Catholic Bishops Conference say they have got the RH Bill sewn up - depressing...

gWaPito – you welcomed me when I first joined the forum and have kindly supported my posts ever since . As you know I’m happy that things have worked out so well for you and your family. In the UK we expect high standards of health care with our NHS, even if they’re not always reached. I wish you all the best for your future .
You haven’t necessarily missed anything. I know you appreciated #1 of my thread (
http://filipinaroses.com/showthread....ippines-and-UK
) although maybe you haven’t had a chance to read my next few posts ( #5, #14. and #17 ).
Ideally, every person should have the right and an equitable opportunity to live a healthy, productive, and fulfilling life. Unfortunately the Philippines does not compare well with other south-east Asian countries, and certainly not the UK, when it comes to health of mums and kids, let alone other measures of health.
Methods of family planning should be available for all women who would like to use them. It contributes to improving health of mums and kids; allows women to take part more in economic productivity; and helps families invest more in education of their children. Family planning also slows high levels of population growth, improves overall health, and reduces poverty and hunger.
It’s about listening to what parents want, not dictating what they should do, helping women and their partners to decide freely when and how many children they want to have. “ Natural family planning “ may be acceptable to all faiths and cultures, but has disadvantages ( in reality only 75% effective, requires commitment from both members of a couple, doesn’t protect against sexually transmitted infections ). “ Withdrawal “ ( coitus interruptus ) has similar disadvantages.
It’s a shame threads on this topic have also “ multiplied / reproduced “ and not been merged. I’ve given time already to it – as have other members - and tried to avoid politics / religion wherever possible. This is not least because there are MANY aspects to improving health of this important group of people.
