Slides intended for interactive discussion on the policy process behind the Philippines' Reproductive Health law (RA 10354), following the framework of Walt and Gilson (1994)'s health policy triangle and the legislative threshold of Gray (2004).
This presentation was created before the bill was passed. The RH is now a law so it is definitely no longer called as RH BILL but rather RH LAW. I hope this will still be useful esp. to those who do not know the law itself.
The document discusses the ongoing debate around same-sex marriage in the United States. It outlines the key arguments on both sides of the issue, including that same-sex marriage violates Christian beliefs but supports equal rights for all citizens to marry, and that while some argue homosexuality is a choice, others believe it is genetically determined. Additionally, it notes that the federal government does not require recognition of same-sex marriages but leaves it to state laws to decide.
This document discusses same-sex marriage from several perspectives including legal, religious, political, and social views. It provides statistics on support for same-sex marriage over time and differences in views among religious groups. Both arguments for and against same-sex marriage are presented regarding civil rights, child welfare, and the roles of government and religious institutions. Data is presented on the increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage among Catholics and other groups.
This document discusses same-sex marriage, providing definitions and discussing its recognition and legal status in various countries and jurisdictions. It notes that several countries have revised marriage laws to recognize same-sex couples in the 21st century. Thirteen countries currently allow same-sex marriage, as do certain sub-jurisdictions within other nations. The document also lists several local government units in the Philippines that have passed anti-discrimination ordinances. However, the Philippines itself does not offer any legal recognition to same-sex relationships. It concludes by discussing perspectives for and against same-sex marriage.
This document discusses homosexuality and whether it should be accepted or not. It begins by defining key terms like homosexuality, heterosexuality, bisexuality, and transgender. It then examines potential causes of homosexuality from an environmental, biological, and lifestyle perspective. Several arguments are presented for why homosexuality is considered a social problem, including that it violates religious texts, natural law, and increases disease. The document also discusses homosexuality in the context of the Philippines, noting it is currently not legally possible to have same-sex marriage. However, it discusses an ordinance in Davao City that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and Duterte's support for same-sex marriage if people want it.

Teenage pregnancy is defined as a girl aged 13-19 becoming pregnant. In Malaysia, most first sexual encounters occur between ages 15-19, putting girls at risk of unwanted pregnancy, STDs, and long-term health issues. While the teenage birth and pregnancy rates in Malaysia have decreased in recent years, they remain a public health issue, especially among unmarried, low-income, and rural adolescents. Unwanted pregnancies often lead to abandoned babies and unsafe or illegal abortions, which can result in medical complications. Experts recommend increasing access to sexual education and family planning services to prevent unintended pregnancies and support services for teenage mothers and their children.
This document discusses key provisions of the Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population Development Act of 2011 (RH Bill). It outlines several sections of the bill, including provisions for midwives to assist with childbirth, emergency obstetric care, access to family planning services, and mandatory reproductive health and sexuality education. It also notes debates around the bill's constitutionality and impact on issues like poverty, corruption, and morality. Overall, the document examines both sides of the arguments for and against the RH Bill's passage into law.
The document discusses the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 in the Philippines, which guarantees universal access to contraception, fertility control, sex education, and maternal care. It mandates the government to promote all effective and legal family planning methods. The bill also requires reproductive health education in schools and guarantees reproductive healthcare for female employees. It aims to promote responsible parenthood through a multi-dimensional approach integrated into anti-poverty programs.

It mandates the government to promote effective family planning methods and integrate family planning into anti-poverty programs. The law also requires employers to guarantee reproductive health rights and the government to ensure availability of related healthcare services. Responsible parenthood is defined as parents guiding and providing for their children's needs through education, nutrition, healthcare and more. Family planning allows couples to control the number, spacing and timing of children through birth control techniques.
The document summarizes Republic Act 9710, also known as the Magna Carta of Women. It declares the policy to ensure substantive equality and human rights for women. It recognizes various rights of women including protection from violence, participation and representation, equal treatment before the law, and rights in marriage and family. It also establishes institutional mechanisms like the Philippine Commission on Women to promote gender mainstreaming and protect women's rights and empowerment.
The Reproductive Health Bills, popularly known as the RH Bills, are legislative bills aiming to guarantee universal access to reproductive health care services, supplies and information in the Philippines. There are presently six bills with the same goals, the most prominent of which is House Bill 96 but they are all referred to in the country as "the RH Bill" as they have the common purpose of promoting reproductive health, responsible parenthood and informed choice in conformity with internationally recognized human rights standards. The contentious aspect of the bill which has spawned a national debate is its key proposal that the government funds and undertakes widespread distribution of family planning devices such as oral contraceptive pills (OCPs) and IUDs, dissemination of information on their use, and enforcement of their provision in all health care centers and private companies, as a way of controlling the population of the Philippines. The bill is based on the premise that present population growth impedes economic development and exacerbates poverty.
This document summarizes Catholic teachings against the Reproductive Health Law in the Philippines. It argues that the law violates Catholic doctrine by promoting contraception, which breaks the unitive and procreative meanings of sex. It says the law cheapens the human body and trivializes sex as a mere instinct, rather than something sacred that is meant to express love and be open to procreation. The document claims the law devalues marriage by making contraception freely available to all, and removes love from the sexual act. It asserts the law violates natural law by discouraging procreation. Overall, the document portrays the RH Law as undermining Catholic values around human sexuality, marriage, and the family.

Assignment 5.1 Gender Equality and Reproductive Health Care in the Philippines Justine Camacho-Tajonera
This is an assignment for the course, How To Change the World, offered for free by Wesleyan University via Coursera.org. This slide show tackles how women, particularly the underprivileged, were undermined when the RH Law (then, a bill) was blocked by powerful groups in the Philippines such as the Catholic Church. Today, this bill has already been passed into law and the Supreme Court has mandated it constitutional (with several provisions stricken down).
The document opposes the Reproductive Health Bill on the grounds that it promotes abortion, free sex, and population control rather than health or development. It argues the bill uses deception in its language and aims to reduce the population through contraceptives that can harm health and cause abortion. The Catholic Church believes corruption, not overpopulation, causes poverty, and the bill undermines family values.
1) The article discusses the RH Law in the Philippines granting women greater reproductive rights and access to contraceptives.
2) It provides statistics on teenage pregnancy and contraceptive use in the Philippines.
3) Supporters of the RH Law argue it will reduce maternal mortality and empower women by giving them control over their reproductive choices.
The RH bill aims to achieve several primary objectives: 1) Help give parents the right to freely plan the number and spacing of their children and improve maternal and child health. 2) Help women finish their education and get jobs by preventing unplanned pregnancies. 3) Help reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development. The bill promotes access to family planning methods and information to guarantee universal access to birth control and maternal care.

This document provides information about bonded labour in Pakistan and a project to eliminate it. It lists regional country percentages of bonded labour, how to apply for legal aid against bonded labour through the Labour and Human Resource Department's toll free helpline and by submitting identification documents, and details of a project to eliminate bonded labour in brick kilns including establishing schools, acquiring identification cards, providing loans, and services. It also includes contact information for Noman Aslam Mughal.
The document discusses child labor, noting that when a child earns a livelihood in addition to getting an education, it is considered child labor. It mentions steps taken by European countries and Pakistan to address child labor. The overall message conveyed is that every child should be in school enjoying their childhood instead of engaging in child labor.
Understanding the Supreme Court Decision on the RH LawAlbert Domingo
The Supreme Court upheld most provisions of the Reproductive Health Law but struck down 8 provisions. The Court declared that provisions requiring health care providers to refer patients for reproductive health services, allowing access to minors without parental consent, and punishing those who do not support or implement reproductive health programs to be unconstitutional. The Court also clarified definitions of key terms like abortifacient and contraceptive. While the Court recognized the country's population problem, it said coercive measures to address it are unacceptable. The Court emphasized that determining what constitutes abortifacients or contraceptives is a matter for medical experts and the FDA. The Court will await actions from the FDA on approved contraceptives.

Key issues addressed include balancing security with individual privacy and establishing reasonable limits on data collection and usage.
This document discusses biblical perspectives on parenting and areas parents can nurture and speak blessings over their children. Key points include:
1) Children are a blessing from God and parents act as stewards over them.
2) Parents should teach God's word, bring up children in the Lord's nurture and admonition, and have a personal relationship with God to guide their parenting.
3) Areas parents can speak blessings over include salvation, love for God's word, wisdom, compassion, character, spiritual protection, relationships, and life's purpose.
4) Parenting should be done out of faith in God rather than fear, as God will cover up human failings and children will be taught by
Anger is the worst enemy of good communication. Spouses should express their emotions to each other in a healthy manner to safeguard their relationship.
The RH bill aims to achieve several primary objectives:
1) Help parents exercise their right to freely plan family size and space children.
2) Improve maternal, newborn and child health to reduce mortality.
3) Give women more opportunities to finish education and work by preventing unplanned pregnancies.
It promotes access to family planning methods and information to help women become self-reliant while reducing poverty and abortion rates.
The document discusses international efforts to promote abortion rights through United Nations bodies and treaties. It describes strategies used by organizations like the Center for Reproductive Rights to influence the interpretation of existing treaties to include abortion rights. They aim to establish abortion as an international norm through "soft law" declarations and court rulings. Their goal is to counter national sovereignty over abortion laws and influence domestic policies and courts. The document also discusses using the Convention on the Rights of the Child to argue the treaty protects children from violence, including abortion.

Early Court Involvement in Mental Health Policy
Until the middle of the 20th century with the advent of the civil rights movement, there were few laws protecting the rights of people with mental illness. Decision-making regarding hospitalization and care was left to hospital directors and psychiatrists with no required consent of the individual. Persons with mental illness could be involuntarily committed to a mental institution and remain there indefinitely with no legal protections. They could be medicated and operated on without their consent. No protections existed to assure that they were treated humanely and that the facilities in which they were housed were sanitary. When lawsuits were brought to defend their rights, cases were very often dismissed or ruled against them One extreme example was Buck v. Bell (1924), where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the forced sterilization of a young woman with a developmental disability was not a violation of the Due Process clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
Protections that required medical professionals to obtain patient consent before performing a procedure were afforded in Schloendorff v Society of New York Hospital in 1914 but these protections did not applied to those patients who were not of “sound mind”. Only much more recently have medical professionals been required to extend these protections to those with mental illness (see Salgo v. Leland Stanford Jr. University Board of Trustees ...
Healthcare providers face substantial legal challenges under the Affordable Care Act, which has led to sweeping healthcare reforms and a demand for healthcare law specialists. This has made healthcare law one of the fastest growing legal practices in the US. Care providers must now manage legal implications of electronic health records, payment based on outcomes, and issues arising from specialized treatment and industry consolidation. These factors contribute to increasing litigation around fraud, insurance payments, and more.

Legislative Action in Health
Part I
The health care sector has been awash with the various health policies aimed at benefiting the citizens of the United States. One of the policies in the area of health and which shall form the backbone of the discussion is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. Manchinkati, Caraway, and Parr et. al. (2011) observed that the officiating of the Act was the signing of the same by President Barrack Obama on 23rd March 2017. The authors highlighted that the Act brought about changes in the health system after the Medicaid and the Medicare. The Responsible Reform (n.d.) added that the policy aimed at making sure that the American citizens received the health care that they could afford, and that which was quality health care.
The Responsible Reform (n.d.) as revealed by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) highlighted that there was the full payment of the Patient Protection and Affordable Act where there would be the provision of coverage to a significant section of the American citizens amounting to 94% of them while still within the set limit. According to this source, the Act comprised of nine sections that sought to ensure that there was a sense of reform in the health care system. Feldman, Buysse and Hubner et. al. (2015) outlined that some of the purposes of the Act was to ensure that there was a reduced number of the American citizens who were not under any form of insurance and ensure the affordability of the health care and health insurance. Also, the Act designed to ensure that there was increased results and performance of the health care system.
However, as Selker and Wesser (2014) highlighted, the embracing of the Act was not entirely automatic. According to the authors, there were a lot of political rumblings before the enactment of the Act. The extent to which the political divide remained in disarray was something not experienced in quite a long time. The main bone of contention was "to what extent the nation should expand healthcare coverage to 30-plus million currently uninsured citizens" (Selker & Wesser 2014). The authors added that there was a view of the legislation as one of those that had experienced a lot of challenging in the history of American. One of the reasons for this resistance was because there was a regard of the Act as an experiment that sought to "portray the American citizens as the guinea pigs in the research facility cages" (Selker & Wesser 2014).

Abstract
The legalization of abortion has been a public health and social issues for many decades. This paper discusses issues surrounding abortion and why it should be legalized (do you mean should remain legalized, because it has been since the mid 70s in the USA?). The paper utilizes two theories: Free will theory, which argues that individuals should be allowed to make decisions or choose between different available courses of action without impediment. Supreme Court affirmed this through its 1973 decision on women's right to decide whether to have a child or not. Routine Activities theory describes how offenders commit crimes partially based on their normal ordinary activities and decisions. In this paper, data was not collected, but secondary data was explored. The paper concludes that safe and legal abortions have not only promoted the quality of life for women but also reduced the crime rates over the last two decades. Are there examples of it decreasing the crime rates? If so, they should also be here.
Introduction
The debate surrounding the legalization of abortion has been actively discussed since the 1973 Roe vs. Wade case. The Supreme Court, at the time, legalized abortion but set specific conditions for the practice. Since then, legal and safe abortions have been conducted across America by certified medical practitioners. However, this might soon change as anti-abortion movements continue to call for its illegalization. The decision to terminate the pregnancy seems to be associated with women's health as one of the fundamental rights. The Supreme Court ruling in 1973 reaffirms the right of women to decide on whether to have a child or not (Kimuyu, 2017). In such a case, the free will theory is applicable in legalizing abortion. Routine Activities theory describes how offenders commit crimes partially based on their normal ordinary activities and decision.
DEISM The religion of those believing in a God who rules the.docxsimonithomas47935
DEISM: The religion of those believing in a God who rules the world by
established laws but not believing in the divinity of Christ or the
inspiration of the Bible; "natural" religion, based on reason and a study
of nature, as opposed to "revealed" religion. The scientific movement
which grew out of the new knowledge of the world and the universe
following upon the discoveries and theories of Columbus, Copernicus,
Galileo, Francis Bacon, and later the members of the Royal Society,
furthered the development of a rationalistic point of view which more and
more tended to rely upon reason instead of upon revelation in the
consideration of humanity's relation to God and the Universe. The fact
that the conceptions of the physical world found in the Old Testament
seemed inconsistent with the newer knowledge shook the faith of many in
the doctrine of the special inspiration of the Bible. DEISM was a
product of this general point of view.
1. The Bible is not the inspired word of God; it is good so far
as it reflects "natural" religion and bad so far as it
contains "additions" made by superstitious or designing
persons.
2. Certain Christian theological doctrines are the product of
superstition or the invention of priests and must be
rejected; e.g., the deity of Christ, the doctrine of the
Trinity, and theory of the atonement for sins.
3. God is perfect, is the creator and governor of the Universe,
and works not capriciously but through unchangeable laws
(hence "miracles" are to be rejected as impossible).
4. Human beings are free agents, whose minds work as they
themselves choose; even God cannot control human thought.
5. Since human beings are rational creatures, like God, they are
capable of understanding the laws of the universe; and as God
is perfect, so can humanity become perfect through a study of
nature, which shows design and must therefore be an
expression of God.
6. Practical religion for the individual consists in achieving
virtue through the rational guidance of conduct (as
exemplified in the scheme for developing the moral virtues
recorded by Franklin in his Autobiography).

Smith v. Washington Constitutional Law ClassKeith Rakes
The Supreme Court ruled that freezing oneself before death is not constitutionally protected and that Washington's Death with Dignity Act is unconstitutional. The petitioner, a terminally ill 19-year-old, wanted to freeze himself before death in hopes of future resuscitation, but the state argued this would be legally considered murder. While acknowledging an individual's right to privacy and liberty, the Court determined the state has a compelling interest to protect vulnerable citizens and uphold equal protection under the law. The opinion found legal and ethical issues with physician-assisted suicide and premortem freezing that could undermine the doctor-patient relationship and potentially lead to abuse.

The document discusses universal health coverage in the Philippines. It provides background on universal health coverage, the legislative process to pass a universal health care law in the Philippines, and the objectives and challenges of implementing such a law. The key points are:
1) The Philippines has been working towards universal health coverage through successive health reforms over nearly 50 years. A bill to consolidate these efforts into a universal health care law passed Congress in late 2018.
2) The universal health care law aims to consolidate financial resources, increase funding, improve governance of local health systems, and establish support mechanisms.
3) Implementing the new law faces challenges like managing expectations, passing complementary funding bills, addressing varied stakeholder perspectives, and developing

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.

14. “
With the rise of the Hebrew state,
a new term had to be coined to describe
the relation of the Hebrew state with the Mosaic religion: theocracy.
The authority and power of the state was ascribed to God.
The Mosaic creed was not merely regarded
as the religion of the state,
it was (at least until Saul) the state itself…
As man of God, Moses decided
when the people should travel and when to pitch camp,
when they should make war and when peace...
religious motivation was primary and all-embracing:
sacrifices were made and Israel was prohibited from exacting usury, mistreating aliens or
using false weights,
all because God commanded these.
Estrada v. Escritor, A.M. No. P-02-1651 (2003)
15. “
There was a union of church and state
and Catholicism was the state religion
under the Spanish Constitution of 1876.
Civil authorities exercised religious functions
and the friars exercised civil powers...
The coming of the Americans to our country, however,
changed this state-church scheme for with the advent of this regime,
the unique American experiment
of separation of church and state
was transported to Philippine soil.

There is an inverse relationship between the
magnitude of a health problem and the strength of
opposition to legislation framed to prevent it.
Number of people affected
Media interest
Strong evidence
Opposition by “industry”
Policy has adverse effects
High cost of intervention
20. Values (?) Dominate Policy-making
▣Politics tends to be driven by beliefs patronage
▣It is the values returns on investment (ROI) politicians believe to be
important that dominate decision-making about policy. Such decisions
will be tempered by the availability of resources.
▣But, resource allocation can also be based on beliefs and values
patronage and ROI
▣Can a shortage of resources force policy-makers to consider the
evidence and alter policy as a result?
Reference: Gray, 2004 (p. 287)

...the issue before this honorable court
is not when life begins…
The Constitution, in Article II, Section 12
textually commands the State
to protect the life of the unborn from conception
– but it does not define the term “conception”.
While delegates to the 1986 Constitutional Commission
disagreed as to its meaning, they agreed that
Article II, Section 12 was intended
to constitutionally bar any congress or any court
from ever adopting in this jurisdiction
the decision of the United States Supreme Court
in the case of Roe v. Wade.
Solicitor General Francis H. Jardeleza,
at the Oral Arguments on Imbong v. Ochoa
23. “
...when life begins is not the issue…
twenty-six years after the advent of Article II,Section 12 –
and that is a quarter of a century of advances
in science and medicine,
Congress passed the RH Law.
Even then, the Congress, just like the Constitutional Commission,
was divided on the question of when life begins.
Congress chose not to answer the question.
Solicitor General Francis H. Jardeleza,
at the Oral Arguments on Imbong v. Ochoa
24. “
The constitutional question at hand is:
whether or not the Congress,
in the exercise of its police power,
enact[ed] the RH Law –
a social legislation that provides women
with universal access to effective, legal,
non-abortifacient contraceptive drugs and devices, and to services
and information thereon.
Solicitor General Francis H. Jardeleza,
at the Oral Arguments on Imbong v. Ochoa
25. “
Majority of the Members of the Court
are of the position that
the question of [when] life begins
is a scientific and medical issue
that should not be decided, at this stage,
without proper hearing and evidence…
From the Decision in Imbong v. Ochoa
26. The RH Law is Not Unconstitutional, but…
1. The requirement to refer patients
seeking MFP methods is
restricted
2. Parental consent is needed for
minors to access MFP methods
3. Health care providers not
disseminating information on RH
cannot be punished
4. The consent of the spouse is
required for married individuals to
undergo RH procedures
5. Health care providers not
referring non-emergent patients
for RH services or information
cannot be punished
6. Any public officer hindering full
RH implementation or not
supporting RH cannot be
punished
7. Any conscientious objector
cannot be required to render pro-
bono service to be accredited by
PhilHealth
8. An abortifacient is any drug or
device that can destroy a fetus or
prevent the implantation of a
fertilized ovum
9. Health service providers who will
require parental consent from
minors not in emergencies or
serious situations cannot be
punished

The law is harsh but it is the law
Although the idea underpinning the introduction of any organizational change may reflect the ideology of the political party in power, or that of an individual, pressure group or think tank, the decision taken can be based on evidence.
The nature of the evidence may be: (1) the experience of what happened since the last change in service financing and organization; or (2) derived from research findings.
However, the amount of research evidence available on which to base healthcare policy is often limited, and politicians may argue that the introduction of a particular policy is supported by common sense.
Reference: Gray, 2004 (p. 291)
Strong evidence is now a necessary prerequisite before any public health policy can be introduced, but the converse is not true: the existence of strong evidence indicating the need for a public health policy does not necessarily result in such a policy being introduced.
Greater obstacles are faced when using the law to implement a public health policy with the aim of protecting individuals from their own inclinations – the paternalistic role of law. (Example: Tobacco policy; next up: salt & sugar.) Powerful evidence is needed to show that such legislation is not only effective but also safe.
Evidence-based policy making is of paramount importance in developing countries. However, the availability of research evidence may be limited because the performance of RCTs (i.e., Implementation Research) in countries with limited resources can be problematic.
