Final Words

                After thirty-five blogs, I think I think I can now say that I have run out of words to say about the Reproductive Health Bill. With this last blog, I would probably summarize everything I have said about the R.H. Bill over the past seven weeks. I will attempt to summarize everything I have said as simple as possible and in five hundred words. I will say what I now think about the Reproductive Health Bill. Honestly, it’s quite tiring to write thirty-five blogs. So I am actually relieved that this argument is about to come to an end for me.

                The Reproductive Health Bill controversy is an issue that has the potential to be a sophisticated argument about morality and ethics if it weren’t for the primitive reasoning the Filipino culture has attempted to defend it. The concept of ethics in this country is somewhat deluded and even hypocritical that it is hard to take any argument brought up by anyone seriously. Even the so-called “religion” that has attempted to go against the R.H. Bill is filled with nothing more than fancy words about morality that came from priests with nothing more than hot air and over-developed pride. To be a part of this argument is to subject oneself to shallow reasoning and repeated arguments that make no sense and leads to more arguments that make even lesser sense. Misconceptions also exist in the Reproductive Health Bill controversy because those who take part in this argument partly have no idea of what they are defending or trying to attack. If only better arguments were formulated about this issue then I’m sure that it would have been even more interesting.

                Although I believe that the Reproductive Health Bill should be implemented for the sake of those who are stupid enough to get knocked up at the wrong time, I no longer wish to take part in any argument about the R.H. Bill. If someone were to ask me what my side is in the future, I would simply say who gives a sh*+? R.H. Bill or no R.H. Bill, I have lost faith in the system of this country to provide any possible salvation to its people. One day we’ll improve because of some minor success brought about by a professional athlete or the decrease of the prizes of products then the next day we’ll be back in our state of lifestyle where we have to save up because everything is too expensive. The R.H. Bill issue is no different. It provides a possible relief where our country’s population might be stable for a while but in the end, we’ll all go back to our old pathetic lifestyle and our threshold of happiness would once again decrease. Now I ask you this: Is this really what everyone has been fighting about? Do you still really want to take part in an argument where the end result is a situation where nothing has really changed? Because for me, this argument has lost its importance.
