Rep. Edcel Lagman says the Church and its anti-RH Bill allies must be "condomized" to prevent them from spreading "lies"

ABS-CBNNews.com reports that Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman issued a statement in reaction to those made by Church officials during the August 4 anti-RH Bill prayer rally. He said that the clergy and their allies "must be condomized to prevent the spread of black propaganda, political intimidation and virulent malevolence."

According to the report, Lagman went on to point out: "The RH bill is anti-abortion not only because it repeatedly provides that abortion is illegal, punishable and not a method of family planning, but it has also been established that regular and correct non-abortive contraception by choice reduces the abortion rate by 85 percent because high risk, unwanted and teenage pregnancies, which are usual candidates for abortion, are prevented."
