Money is motivation behind repro bill?

There is no way to make the proposed Reproductive Health Care Bill a law even if it would mean millions of dollars going to the coffers of both the government and private sectors of the Davao City and of the country in general.
“The Reproductive Bill has been promoted everywhere and even the Commission on Population has promoted the use of artificial reproductive methods for the past 30 years but it was not able to solve poverty,” councilor Teresa Mata Marañon said.
The root of Marañon’s ire and that of other Catholic groups is the Reproductive Health and Population Development Bill, also known as Senate Bill 3122. This is the same Bill which Senator Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III is supporting even if it means being boycotted by the same nuns and priests who used to support former President Corazon Aquino.
Marañon made public her outrage over the pending Reproductive Health in Congress and the proposed resolution supporting the local health care ordinance and asked if the legislators and other sectors are supporting the Reproductive Health Bill mainly because of the big funding involved.
“Kung ato man gud ibalaod ni it will be almost the same as legalizing same sex marriages in Davao and in the Philippines (the approval of the Reproductive Health Bill as a Law will be tantamount to legalizing same sex marriages here),” she said.
She said those who are supporting the Bill should not deny that it also promotes the use of contraceptives and abortion. “The very heart of the Reproductive Health Bill is contraception, so why deny that,” she added, saying that even former First Lady and now US Secretary Hilary Clinton admitted that Reproductive Health includes abortion.
Marañon said it is offensive to the Catholic faith and contains almost the same provisions used in the laws of countries that promote abortion. She was referring to the provision on the Management of Post Abortion Complication which she said condones abortion in the guise of health.
“The Bill is anti-poor and targets the poor sector of society who are prone to having more children because they have unmet needs such as livelihood, real health care, access to education and other social services,” she said.  LAC
