The 20 plus year old Reproductive Health Bill (HB 5043) may have died in the 14th Congress, but it will continue to haunt presidents and lawmakers to come, if the presidential debates I have been watching and the interviews at Blogwatch I have participated in are any indication. Four presidential aspirants have expressed their unwillingness to support the bill, and they are Senator Manny Villar, Bro. Eddie Villanueva, Councilor JC Delos Reyes and lately, Former Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro.
Villanueva, delos Reyes and Villar have made it clear early on that they are against the RH Bill because it promotes artificial methods of contraception as a means to curb our rapidly growing population. Being closely identified with the Christian doctrines and those of the Roman Catholic Church, respectivley, they adhere closely to their churches’ position on the issue. Villar is an active member of the Couples for Christ while JC’s Ang Kapatiran Party (AKP) is the only party that includes a spiritual dimension in its platform of governance.

We are really at the end of time era. These are all Satan’s work. We should be aware how he works. As he said “I Pretend to love men, in order to destroy them; serve them, in order to ruin them and deceive them; help them, in order to pervert them and draw them into these my hellish regions.”
People have been persuaded by the devil that they are entitled to have sex when they choose, rejecting any unwanted life that may result. The enemy may tell you “God is too demanding and unreasonable”. “If we distributed more condoms we would not have disease or the need to abort babies”. “It’s God’s fault because God’s Church is against the use of condoms”.
Sexual intercourse, by its nature and intent is potentially life giving act. This is God’s version. The enemy’s version is that sex can be closed to give life and used for physical pleasure only. Enemy’s version of sex is selfish, emotionally dangerous, and bad for humanity. The enemy offers an answer to this too, and led souls to avoid consequences by offering widespread contraception and abortion. Both men and women are now told that sinful sexual behaviors are allowable and acceptable. God intends that a man and woman enter a blessed union (through marriage) and then share their sexuality with one another. The devil is mocking God because he depicts God’s purpose. He is laughing because many led astray on this sin.
