Ninety-two percent of Filipinos rejected the Reproductive Health Bill.

This was the result of the Filipino Family Survey conducted by HB&A International Research and the Asia Research Organization last December 2 to 9, 2009.

Initiated by Pro-Life Philippines President Lito Atienza, the survey contradicted the claim made by RH bill proponents that Filipinos overwhelmingly support the bill. “This survey presented the truth that overwhelmingly the Filipino families don’t want the provisions to this proposed law. They are against this RH bill as constructed in this proposed law of Congressman Edcel Lagman,” Atienza said.

“That’s why the public need to know this because our congressmen might be swayed to the blackmailing strategy of Congressman Lagman,” he added.

The survey also revealed that 90 percent of those surveyed are not in favor with the salient points of the RH bill, which include teaching children aged ten to eleven to learn sex techniques with vivid pictures from male and female teachers who will explain only the biological and technical aspects of sex.

Ninety four percent also rejected the idea of Congress passing a bill that will make available to young children and young teens artificial birth control methods even without parental consent, giving them access to condoms, IUDs, birth control pills and other abortifacients, and the worse part is, doctors and health workers could be jailed if they refuse them.

While 96 percent of those surveyed reject the passing of a legislation that would encourage a contraceptive mentality that will lead to an abortive mentality.
