Jejomar Binay is both pro-life and pro-choice in RH Bill issue

Published: Apr 18, 2011 - 12:52pm

(SPOT.ph) Vice President Jejomar Binay said he is both pro-life and pro-choice in the Reproductive Health (RH) Bill issue, Inquirer.net reported yesterday.

Binay sees nothing wrong with using condoms because "there's no abortion" and it is "just prevention." However, he is against abortion and "abortifacient" pills. According to Inquirer.net, he supports women's freedom of choice as long as they do not "cross the line to abortion."

Asked what he thinks of birth control pills, he said, "Those abortifacient ones should not be allowed. Those drugs will cause abortion. But those only used for prevention (are fine) because there's no life involved yet." He added, "My position is consistent. As long as there is life, even for one second, that's abortion already. That's not right anymore."

    Pure Binay. Sitting on the fence with the proverbial picket up his unmentionable. The consummate politician. Beware this scheming, Machiavallean piece of work, and whatever you do don't vote for him when he stands for President. He's a self-serving, power seeker whose track record in Makati (the richest city in the Republic that can't even light its streets properly or put in decent sidewalks on major thoroughfares) speaks for itself.rnEverything he has ever done in office has been to further his and his family's own interests.

    If the RH Bill is made into law, there will be some population control in PH. Population control = less poverty. Less poverty = less people having to rely on God. This equation is what CBCP is scared of. And the VP is very st*p*d in saying he is Pro-Choice, excluding abortion. That is not Pro-Choice. That is like saying someone is vegetarian but they eat white meat. Very st*p*d.

    this is obviously a play-safe game from the VP. why can't he make a stand without any buts. this not a support at all to RH bill. if he's supporting it then he has to let everyone know that RH bill is not a pro-abortion campaign.

    During the UP graduation rites, PNoy has publicly declared his support for the RH bill. THAT to me is MAJOR. No other President, past or present, has publicly declared a position that is not supported by the Church.

    Samakatuwid, PRO-RH si VP Binay. Good on you, Mr. VP. I just wish he had the balls to say it directly and not beat around the bush.

    Yeah. Yeah. As usual, the politician in Binay is neither hot nor cold. Neither black (yes) nor white. I would vote for the next President who will can make a clearer stand.

    Why doesn't he, or anyone, make an exception of therapeutic abortion (to save the life of the mother), such as would have saved his daughter-in-law? That is certainly pro-life, too.

    Exactly what the RH Bill is proposing. It's just the Roman Catholic Church that's trying to create some imaginary ethical dilemma.
