Contraceptives, Rejected by Government, Are Unaffordable for Many in Majority-Catholic Nation

http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2008/04/21/PH2008042101081.jpg
*Maria Susana Espinoza of Manila did not know how birth control worked until after her fourth child was born. Soaring rice prices have focused attention on population growth. *

*Acceding to Catholic doctrine, the government for the past five years has supported only what it calls “natural” family planning. No national government funds can be used to buy contraceptives for the poor, although anyone who can afford them is permitted to buy them. Local governments can also buy and distribute contraceptives, but many lack the money. *

Thats the philippine government submitting to Catholic Sharia law. :rolleyes: Instead of doing the best for the people by educating & financing birth-control, while the country is struggling with poverty.
 
Contraception is not “best” for people. That is your opinion.

The people of the Phillipines have a different opinion regarding what is best for themselves.

Filipinos have a different opinion because Catholic Sharia law keeps them ignorant on contraception. As a filipino, i know that my countrymen would like to limit the size of their families. And the natural method just doesnt work well enough.
 
“Catholic Sharia Law”

Feel better now? Must be a nice view from up there …
 
sharia law is merely a religious opinion that is made political.

how can you say that when some priests couldnt? sex is such a powerful force of life.

Wow, you have very low regard and expectations from your own people. They are not animals they do have the ability to control their urge to have sex.

You are the one linking us to animals, not me. We filipinos joke among ourselves that for the poor with no electricity when it becomes dark there is nothing else to do but have sex. How else can you explain the large numbers of children among the poorest? 🤷

Okay let me know how I am linking Filipinos to animals? I stated that they are not animals and that they have the ability to control their sexual urges and you stated that when it becomes dark there is nothing else to do but have sex.

I am guessing that since they do have a mind they could find something to do other than having sex.

They are just smiling for the camera. In reality slum areas are plagued with crying and screaming naked toddlers with bloated stomachs full of worms. recently a girl committed suicide because she could no longer stand being so poor and could not even afford a $2 dollar school project.

Is there anyone in that picture who would have been better off or happier, never to have been born?

nobody mourns for a non-existent person.

other than committing a crime, what? you have no idea what its like living in slum areas with no electricity.
 
Please, take a look at the link. It’s the WASHINGTON POST people. If you are not aware, along with the New York Times (the paper of Wreckerd), the Boston Globe, and the rest of the eastern liberal media, it spends a goodly portion of its ink, (and ilk) doing whatever it can to discredit and slander Christianity. It calls the Phillipines a country of poverty, when that really isn’t true. All countries have their poor - kinda like all cities (uh, does Washington, D.C. come to mind) It goes and buys a photograph that supports its slander and puts it on display and passes its verbal vomit off as accepted fact.

The Washington Post with its millions can’t stop the welfare abomination in its backyard, so it takes it show on the road with a piece of journalistic three card monte like this article. Garbage like the Post cares only for reaping profits by villifying any institution that opposes its pro homosexual, pro abortion pro left wing liberal agenda. Regardless of whether or not that institution is actually trying to address the problems that the Post champions, but in reality does nothing about.

And any poster who tries to link the Church scandal of late with the massive social problems endemic in underdeveloped societies is beneath contempt. Then again, anyone who offers cheap shots as responsible commentary isn’t worth consideration to begin with
After all, an empty vessel makes the loudest sound.

You have no idea of what I have been through.

There are many, many people who are and have lived in similar and worse situations and have not let their urges take complete control.

I always say its a good thing that we have the Church to always remind us that we are not animals and that we are called to something bigger.

Its too bad that those who like to play the caring more humane person, tends to look at those in lesser conditions as lesser humans.

your ‘many’ is lost under the sea of hundreds of millions of poor people who still multiply like rabbits. with nothing else to occupy their time.
 
So, introducing the culture of death is a good solution? Acceptance of birth control (anti-life) came in the early 20th century. It lead to the introduction of abortion (direct killing of innocents) in the latter part of the same century. Euthanasia (values killing) followed. Cloning (spare human parts production) is right on its heels, since human life has now been reduced to scientific entertainment. A blood relative can now be a spare parts farm for you if you somehow avoid euthanasia. Next is Soylent Green (watch the movie) in which humans will be exploited for their nutritional value. Who will fight if everyone is prevented, killed, used for spare parts, or eaten?

We are currently almost 80% of the way there…
