Nation, that we need to reject the Reproductive Health Bill is surely unquestionable.
As recent surveys have said, the average Filipina does not know her body and how it works. This is a direct effect of merely proposing the Reproductive Health Bill. Clearly, this is God’s way of showing us that He is not pleased with the RH Bill. It must not prosper, lest we expose women to wordly knowledge. Was it not said in Genesis that those who would eat from the tree of Knowledge would surely die?
By making sex education more accessible, we are clearly encouraging abortion. We don’t need to ask how: it’s enough for us to know that heathen, sinful lawmakers conspired with Satan to make this bill happen. How can we possibly return to the good, Catholic values we’ve always held onto as a nation if we allow ourselves this kind of knowledge? Knowledge is a terrible, terrible thing, as it is a gateway to legalizing abortion and to allowing all kinds of perversion such as bestiality, homosexuality, and French kissing.
The Reproductive Health Bill is a malevolent bill that has attracted the attention of many sex-starved citizens who believe this is finally their chance to be promiscuous and immoral. If we encourage contraception, more people would end up having casual sexual relations with no regard for the consequences. Is not the gift of life, of having a child, the greatest wonder of all, as well as the most powerful deterrent to such hedonistic behaviour?
One worries how this impending sexual liberation would further destroy the very fiber of morality in this nation. Gone were the days where people would merely abstain from holding hands if they didn’t want to have children. Gone were the days where married couples would have to suppress their horribly sinful desire to consummate their marriage even if one of them is barren. Sex is only for procreation, as such. Anyone who would have sexual relations for any other reason at all is surely going to suffer for it.
Every single tragedy this country is going through now, from the death of Corazon Aquino to our economic downturn, is all the fault of the Reproductive Health Bill. How dare we teach this nation about the way our bodies work? How dare we play God and have such powerful knowledge at our fingertips? What is more upsetting is that now that people know how to have sexual relations without worrying about the consequences thanks to this Reproductive Health Bill, we will surely see an uprising of adultery and concubinage. Indeed, the Reproductive Health Bill causes adultery and concubinage.
Then again, perhaps we should reconsider. Is it not the case that the only way adultery and concubinage could happen is if one were married? Surely, if we would look at this closely, then we could say that the very cause of these two grave sins is, marriage, for without marriage, then there can be no adultery and concubinage. When we realize this, then our path becomes clear: more than just rejecting the Reproductive Health Bill, we must abolish marriage.
Marriage is responsible for people having sexual relations with no guilt whatsoever. Without the Reproductive Health Bill, anyone who is unmarried would most likely be guilt-tripped into getting married before having sexual relations. As such, marriage has become a means to an end: and this is an end we wish to prevent at all costs.
Marriage is the scourge that pretends to make something so immoral and so debased suddenly become wonderful and loving. Surely, something that is immoral outside of marriage should logically also be immoral within it. Marriage makes it seem that this isn’t so, and we cannot tolerate this illusion marriage purports. If we truly wish to become the paragons of morality, we cannot allow marriage to persist. We have institutionalized debauchery and illicit behaviour, and now we must undo it.
Nation, let us join hands together and say: no to the Reproductive Health Bill, and no to marriage!
On second thought, let us not join hands. This could lead to more immorality.
