The problem, to be blunt, is government. You have a choice, in Tocqueville’s view, between a government that protects freedom and a government that provides material security. You cannot have both. And if you choose comfortable slavery you cannot have community. Tocqueville explained this phenomenon in his discussion of “soft” or democratic despotism. By doing […]

Such non-discrimination would mean changes in marriage laws, adoption laws, and even the use of public restrooms. It would mean such notions couldn’t be kept out of any level of schooling including grade schools. As often as not, such claims of non-discrimination end up discriminating against Christians and others who have moral and religious objections […]

Marriage has its roots in the mutual attraction of the man and the woman which leads them to conjugal love. This love is at the root of the marriage partnership. Although Christianity has raised marriage to the level of the personal love of spouses, this phenomenon is a universal one. It is enough to see […]

Found on Facebook: ”As a parent, this really bothers me. Contraceptives should not be given without a doctor’s prescription especially since maraming harmful side effects like increased blood clots, bone density loss, palpitations and a whole lot more! Moreover, it should not be given to minors without first informing their parents! Pero si Miriam at […]

This isn’t news anymore, is it? If it sounds too familiar, perhaps it’s because it’s the same nonsense spouted by RH bill promoters. The HHS link then suggested that youth “may also experiment with sexual experiences, including those with members of the same sex, during the years they are exploring their own sexuality.” Sound familiar? […]

Ngunit hindi ako naniniwalang responsibilidad ng estado na magpamahagi ng contraceptives sa mga mamamayan nito. Alam ko ay ang responsibilidad ng estadong paglingkuran at protektahan ang sambayanan at mapalaya ang mamamayan nito sa kahirapan sa pamamagitan ng mga polisiya sa pagbibigay ng sapat na batayang serbisyong panlpunan, sapat na trabaho, mataas na batayan ng pamumuhay […]

From Ansel Beluso, former entertainment writer and showbiz talk-show host: Ang RH Bill ay mapanganib sa pamilya dahil pinahihina nito ang ugnayan ng magulang at anak; at pinanghihimasukan nito ang karapatan at obligasyon ng magulang bilang pangunahing guro at gabay ng mga anak sa usapin ng seksuwalidad. Ito rin ay mapanganib sa kabataan dahil ituturo […]

The professors would like to make it appear that they are giving “preferential option for the poor”. This is a noble end indeed. But the end does not justify the use of illegal and immoral means like contraception and sterilization. Granting that they have academic freedom, it is still unbecoming of them as professors to […]

From The RH Bill: Paving the Path with Good Intentions Now, I personally believe that no one intends to be the “bad guy” for evils’ sake. In my experience, evil is less attractive if seen in its true, unadulterated state. Most evil in this world is sugar coated to be made palatable to those who […]

Infallible Teaching on Artificial Contraceptives by Dr. Bernardo Villegas Even before the “limits to growth” hypothesis broke out in the 1970s, as an economist I had always rejected any attempt to resuscitate of the completely discredited theory that Thomas Malthus first proferred more than two centuries ago. My training at Harvard under Nobel Prize winners […]
