39. Page 39: Understanding Sexual Orientation “Persons with homosexual orientation are sometimes referred to as “gay” (both men and women) or a “lesbian” (women only). Homosexuality is not an illness, mental disorder or an emotional or social concern. It does not require treatment. Homosexuals are capable of having a lasting, loving, long-term, committed relationship with a single partner. They are also capable of being good parents .

43. When the president of the IPPF affiliate in the United States was asked, after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973, how he planned to ensure that abortion would never again become illegal he answered with two words: "sex education!” (Alan Guttmacher, President of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, 1973).

45. IPPF runs a website for adolescents in which various kinds of sexual practices are encouraged, including “mutual masturbation, oral and anal sex.” The website calls “casual sex” “exhilarating and entertaining.”

46. Another less known fact about IPPF programs around the world is that IPPF profits from children having sex . In a video expose on the IPPF/ESEAO affiliate in the United States (PPFA), it was shown that “one IPPF/ESEAO affiliate brings in over $48,000,000 a year from teenagers who have sex.” (James W. Sedlak video series. Planned Parenthood -- The Problem, Not The Solution. American Life League, Inc., Stafford, Virginia USA,

47. Another report on PPFA shows that “it makes over $65,000,000 a year profit from the sale of birth control devices.” (STOPP International. A Study of the Contraceptive Business at Planned Parenthood, Post Office Box 8, LaGrangeville, New York 12540, 1993)

48. Why do nations that stress sex education and contraceptive use continue to experience a rapidly escalating rate of teen pregnancy and an exploding AIDS epidemic?

49. Researches around the world substantiate the fact that the more contraceptive programs are aimed at the young, the more pregnancies , abortions , promiscuity , sexually transmitted diseases , and cancer of the cervix results!

51. Contraceptives cause more than 60 documented horrible side effects: high blood pressure ; increased risk of stroke or heart attack ; cancers of the breast and reproductive organs ; osteoporosis ; blurring of vision/blindness ; infertility ; birth defects ; gall bladder disease ; liver tumors ; mood disorders ; depression and reduction of libido , etc…..

80. RH services: “should cover reproductive health concerns, namely Family Planning; Maternal Care; Prenatal Care; Safe delivery and postnatal care especially breastfeeding, infant, and womens’s health care; Infertility; Reproductive Tract Infections (RTIs); STD,HIV/AIDS, and other reproductive disorders; Abortion ; and Violence against men or women.” (Trainees’ Manual, Page 7)

85. Philippines’ Commitment to CEDAW?

88. CEDAW jurisprudence have consistently declared anti-abortion laws as a violation of the rights to life and health! (e.g. Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ireland, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru)

89. Reproductive Health & Population Development Act: guarantees “access to a full range of safe, legal and effective family planning methods, techniques, and devices.”

90. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS SAFE ABORTION!

96. HUMAN LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION! Even if the presence of a spiritual soul cannot be ascertained by empirical data, scientific research categorically tells us that all genetic characteristics of a human being is already complete once the egg and sperm cell unite…

108. More children have been found to decrease the risk of breast cancer and myoma !

112. “ The real problem of government’s family planning is not of families out of control, but of planners out of control!” Jacqueline Kasun “The War Against Population”

117. It is only a serious moral-spiritual revival , the teaching and learning of chastity before marriage, and Natural Family Planning within marriage, not to mention prayers and self-denial, that can truly make a difference!

118. There is only one answer to end the AIDS epidemic and prevent sexually transmitted diseases: ABSTAIN from sex before marriage , and BE FAITHFUL to your spouse after that!

119. There is no constitution, law, or program, no matter how solemnly written or proclaimed, that can abrogate the right that God gives to every person, without which all other rights become meaningless THE RIGHT TO LIFE!

122. LET US ALL UNITE AND COURAGEOUSLY STAND FOR TRUTH AND THE FILIPINO FAMILY!
