Why did you have to tell a lie?
In your sponsorship speech for the Reproductive Health Bill last August 1, 2011, you said that in our country, the Catholic church is the only major religion that opposes the RH bill. I found this very untruthful. In a news released by a Muslim website onislam.net on July 19, 2011, Muslim and Christian leaders in the Philippines have joined hands against a government bill that would promote access to contraception, a move seen as tantamount to abortion. [1]
Bishop Reuben Abante said, “We believe that children are gifts from God, not accidents to be avoided." He also called for promoting "education that helps parents raise children who know and practice good manners and right conduct, not how to avoid pregnancies." [2] Abante is not a Catholic bishop but a bishop of the Baptist group Biblemode.
Muslims are against the RH Bill too, madam. Here is a video that would prove that Islam is a pro-life religion.
Eleem Said Akmad Basher, chairman of the Imam Council
of the Philippines, spoke in a Pro-Life Coalition Presscon
last July 15, 2011.
Madam senator, contrary to your claim, the Catholic Church is not the only major religion against the RH Bill. Why did you have to tell that?
