For preliminaries: this is a response to two paragraphs of former Sen. Kit Tatad’s response against the Reproductive Health Bill. I have already posted my view on RH – baby-murdering Sodomite that I am (kidding) – although this statement of Sen. Tatad sort of got into me. I quote, in full:
4. Oppressive of religious belief
The bill seeks to tell the Catholic majority not to listen to the Church and to listen to anti-Catholic politicians instead. It seeks to establish a program which Catholic taxpayers will fund in order to attack a doctrine of their faith. Is there a worse despotism? Would the same people do the same thing to the followers of Islam or some politically active religious pressure group?
The pro-RH lobby claims surveys have shown that most Catholic women want to use contraception, regardless of what the Church says about it. It is a desperate attempt to show that right or wrong can now be reduced to what you like or dislike. The truth is never the result of surveys. Contraception is wrong not because the Church has banned it; the Church has banned it because it is wrong. No amount of surveys can change that.
