Proponents of the Reproductive Health Bill claim that their objective is to give the people the power to determine the size of their families and provide them assistance in order for them to attain their objectives.
On the other hand, opponents of the bill, mainly the Catholic clergy claim that it is anti-Life and immoral. Thus, by their opposition to it they claim to be pro-life.
Personally, I think the debate about the RH Bill with the Church on one side and some progressive thinking people on the other is a fight for life. However this life they fight about is not that of the unborn but of the Church itself.
Every moral decision that is left in the hands of the people is an erosion of Church influence and power over the people. This explains the violent opposition of the Church to the RH Bill.
But why should government bend over backwards for the Church when government has a job to do and should have its own moral reference to guide it in the performance of its job?
Let Government do what it must do and so too the Church to its flock of believers. But let not the Church interfere with the affairs of the State.
