We have just come out with our first CFCFFL Pro-life advertisement on the 2 major newspapers in the country We are opposing on the Philippines' Legilslators pending House Bill No. 5043, entitled:
AN ACT PROVIDING FOR A NATIONAL POLICY ON REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, RESPONSIBLE PARENTHOOD AND POPULATION DEVELOPMENT, AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES
|
We are opposing this bill because of many anti-family and anti-life elements. Beginning with this ad, we will continue to post through CFC FFL website, the other objectionable and unreasonable sections.
As Catholics and as responsible citizens of this country, let us all come together and pray that this Bill does not pass. Xavy Padilla and the other fulltime workers are leading the mobilization of CFCFFL's presence in all the Plenary hearings that is expected to run until Oct.8. All other Church groups and other various civil sectors are rallying together to prevent this bill from passing.
As of last night's hearing in the plenary session, at the House of Congress, we received report from the Legal Head of the Catholic Bishops' Conference that the women legislators took the floor:
Atty Jo Imbong reported through a text message:
"Congresswomen Lisa Masa, Darlene Antonino and Baraquel spoke. Same arguments-unsafe abortion. Mothers die at childbirth. Poverty. Resumes tomorrow. Interpolations might start. Continue Masses and Rosaries. Let us hold on until Oct 10 when Congress starts recess."
Read the bill and express too your opinions about it. Tell your family, members, friends about the issues and educate people about the horrors of this bill. Educate yourself about prolife issues:
1) Invite Ed Sorreta, head of our Prolife Formation Committee, or Peggy Burgoyne or any Teodora member, to give our ProLife talks in your area;
2) Read the Papal Encyclicals on Evangelium Vitae, Humanae Vitae and Familiaris Consortio;
3) If you are in the Philippines, write to the Congressman of your district, expressing your family's disagreement to this bill. Log on to www.congress.gov.ph to get the name and contact details of your Congressman.
4) Call Xavy Padilla and the CFCFFL Home Office at 718-2213 on how to join the delegation of prolifers in Congress.
Let us continue to ask for the intercession of Our Lady in defense of life!!!
