The Family and Life Apostolate

The Family and Life Apostolate meeting on July 11 and 12 at the CAP Auditorium was timely. The Family and Life Apostolate has opposed the Reproductive Health Law from the start.

When the RH Bill became a law, the FLA joined others in asking the court to declare it as against the Constitution. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court said the RH Law is valid. The decision demoralized and confused the faithful. We know that this law had intruded and disturbed the family.

The RH Law, through the Departments of Health, Education and Interior and Local Government, gave the government a greater role in dealing with sex education including the use of contraceptives and body mutilation like vasectomy and ligation. These are very private and sensitive matters which normally are handled by the family.

We must re-group and re-energize our efforts to protect the family from too much government intervention.
