Reproductive health is not just a poor woman’s concern. Many brush off the need for the
RH Bill thinking that it is only about sex and only for women who cannot afford to purchase modern contraception pills and condoms. But
reproductive health is everyone’s concern. Think about every person you know (or are related to) who has had: a) an unwanted pregnancy, b) an additional pregnancy they could not afford, c) has considered terminating a pregnancy, or d) who has suffered from pregnancy-related complications and you will know that RH should concern every person who is able to bring life into the world and bear what should be the joyful responsibility of caring for it.
Read on for a no-nonsense run down of what the RH Bill means and why it’s relevant to you.

All the items in the bill, when it comes to contraception, are already available to anyone anytime but the bill wants to make these items free (targeting the poor) and mislead people to think that this is a best solution to unplanned pregnancy and STDs. Planned Parenthood a major backer of the Bill already had to announce that the major cause of unplanned teen pregnancy is not failure to use contraception but the failure of contraception to work. If you support the bill because of the 10 items in this blog post then you have been mislead.
