Prelate cites anti-life arguments as ‘misleading,’ ‘erroneous,’

DAVAO CITY, Jan. 9, 2010—LIKE MOST religious people, Mati Bishop Patricio Alo hit on anti-life advocates and their arguments to be “baseless, misleading and erroneous.”

Further, Bishop Alo warned that those who support the anti-life agenda unknowingly are engaged into corruption because the program in itself is a kind of corruption.

“They are just making man slave to the passing glory and sensual pleasures of the world. They simply disregard the basic fact that life is sacred,” he said.

The prelate moved on saying that the arguments that matter are those based on truth, not just on transitory or volatile reasons.

“They (anti-lifers or Reproductive Health Bill supporters) give reasons such as poverty, overpopulation, hunger and many others which are erroneous,” said Bishop Alo.

Bishop Alo said those arguments have no sufficient basis for terminating life or potential life by means of abortion or contraception.
