Campaign for RH
I received this an e-mail from a friend regarding a petition to convince our legislators to pass the Reproductive Health Bill (RH). I hope that you will take part in this campaign.
The struggle for the passage of the Reproductive Bill (RH) in Congress rages on. The Reproductive Health Advocacy Network (RHAN) through our org, the Democratic Socialist Women of the Phils. (DSWP) initiated an online petition that we request you to support by attaching your signature. Please go to http://www.PetitionOnline.com/rhan2008/petition.html to do this.
We hope to gather ONE MILLION SIGNATURES to show our legislators that there is a wide support base for the bill’s passage despite what the opposition says. We will present the signatures both to the House of Representatives (HOR) and Senate within September as we are waiting for the schedule of plenary deliberations in the HOR and the release of the Senate Committee on Health’s report.
Please support the petition. It will not take more than 5 minutes of your time. More than 10 women die daily due to pregnancy and childbirth-related causes. The big bulk of those who die are poor women at the prime of their lives. This is simply unacceptable and must be stopped. Congress has the power to do this.
Kindly share this information to all your friends.
I wish she said what the bill was in a gist. I’ll go over the site to check it out.
Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your kind comments. Hope it’s not a manic Monday for you!
