Over 50,000 march against reproductive health bill in Philippines | LifeSiteNews.com: Despite claims by advocates of the bill that only the Catholic Church is opposed, thousands of Evangelicals, Baptists, and Muslims joined the Catholic majority to show their pro-life stance.

The controversial bill, called “The Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act,” seeks to “recognize” and “guarantee” “women’s human rights” and keep laws from infringing on “reproductive health rights.” The Catholic Church in the Philippines has been the main coordinator of the opposition to the bill, which would provide contraceptives in all government hospitals and sex education in public schools.
