What answer does the Church provide in the Rh bill and why is the Church against it?

Answer 1

Catholic AnswerI looked up the Rh bill here on WikiAnswers, if what they are saying is true, then there is no way any Catholic good, in conscience, support this bill. Section 17 says that employers MUST PROVIDE free ligation/vasectomy, condoms, pills, . . . and information on contraceptives otherwise they are put to jail or fined or both.

This is *extremely* problematic. All of the above "services" are considered mortal sins: i.e. practicing even one of them once completely deprives you of God's grace, and of the opportunity to go to heaven.

Among the elements included in the bill are "family planning information end services" and other questionable services. Refusal to perform voluntary ligation and vasectomy and other legal and medically-safe reproductive health care services on any person of legal age is prohibited! This is morally reprehensible and no Catholic could go along with this. Further, it provides for jail term or fine or both for any person "expressing an opinion against RH law if passed"! Again, can you see all the priests locked up for preaching sermons on abiding by the laws of Our Blessed Savior and His Church?

Answer from a Catholic (Catholics in union with the Pope)Many so-called reproductive health bills contain provisions for abortion. The Catholic Church believes that abortion is a serious offense against the sanctity of all human life, that the infant in the womb deserves the same rights and protections that we all enjoy, and therefore opposes legislative or administrative measures that promote this procedure.

AnswerIt would depend on which church you are referring to. Not all churches may be against it.
