Reaction about Reproductive Health Bill?
It should not be passed in the Congress and in the Senate as a law. It is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! Very pertinent to the debate about reproductive rights is the primacy of the right to life. The Philippine Constitution says that the State "shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception." Artificial contraceptives are abortifacient, that is, they prevent the implantation of a newly conceived baby into the mother's womb, as one of their mechanisms of action.
Is reproductive health bill constitutional or unconstitutional?
Unconstitutional as it would provide for hormonal contraceptives and intrauterine devices (IUDS) which have been proven to have post-fertilization effects, meaning they cause changes in the lining of the uterus so that a newly conceived baby cannot implant and thus get "aborted" (this is what is called its abortifacient effect). Please check wikipedia for details and the Americal Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology to verify the truth of this statement.
