Europe's Economy is Down Due to Shrinking Population

By: Rev. Jesse Amiel A. Ramoso

Rh law is like deforestation 

             The Philippines just recently approved RH Bill as law and now called RH law. This law is just like importing junks and garbage in all countries who practiced population reductions, like accepting Ukay-Ukay and used cars and materials from other countries. The greed of some politicians who did not study advantage of the economy due to population growth,  should repent or let's remember them in this election. Europe announced recently that their economic problems one major cause is due to shrinking of population and the expanding of aging people who received a monthly pension and medical maintenance. According to the news "...because of emigration and low fertility, the Baltic state's population shrank by 14 percent, or 340,000 people, between 2000 and 2011, prompting warnings of an existential threat to the nation." This is a serious problem, and few years from now we will also publish the same news in the Philippines. Is this a mistakes or mis-studied circumstance to our law maker? I guess not, some who defended RH Law or those who are anti-RH Bill has already publish and raised this projected problems if the population shrink. The question here is that, are Philippine politicians who endorse RH Bill which cutting population growth are intelligent enough to learn from the mistakes of other countries who gone before us in implementing the same law? What we can expect in the Philippines in 20 years from now? 

      No body would believed of the theory of those economist who said, that population growth could create a high stimulation of economic progression for the country. I've heard them debating in one of TV station. However, the pro=RH are persistent and determined to push this to become law. It is sad to know that shrinking population would drag down the economy of the country. Rh Bill is just like a deforestation of today's generation and a fatal flood and landslide would occur in the near future.  In forty years ago, the Philippines enjoyed the harvest of logs and economic progress of exporting these internationally; however, today we reap the consequences. A rain fall a little then a huge flood occur, this is because we don't have enough rain forest. This is the same thing in our population, we've been slow shrinking down due to RH law, and in the near future we can see the same problem in the Philippines. My classmate in masters course did a thesis about ageing population in the Philippines in the near future. This ageing people are those who aged today of 40yrs old up and in 20 years from now they will also receive maintenance to be finance by Philippines government. The question is, are we able in to finance this 20 to 35% of population under high financial maintenance. This will eat up our money, but this can be save if we have majority of young people who can work here and abroad to bring economy here in Philippines. However, this will not bring into realisation if we will cut the population growth by implementing this RH law. 
              The thing that would happened in the near future on the effect of this RH Bill which finance indirect and direct abortion using contraceptives and educating young people on how to avoid pregnancy. The philosophy of this kind of education is multi-paceted. This will give a safety for couple, because they labeled pregnancies as accident and disgrace. The first effect is a unlearning and reversing the view of pregnancy and giving birth as cancer and abnormal to society, then who will be in the next generation would like to have baby? Second, this will encourage people to concubinage, fornicate and adulterate that results to abortion, since abortion is legal in Philippines provided it should be justified medically. Third, this will bring all nation into guilt and sin against man and against God. Fourth, this will results to moral and spiritual bankruptcy. 
             Back to the population of European country, today they're encouraging their fellow citizen to get more children. This is to preserve their near future, however, we, our bearing is quite opposite, this is foolishness because while the West is denouncing on population control, we also implementing it and deliberately shrinking our population growth. This is crazy and now man in his right mind to this kind of decision if in the beginning he already knew what he can get in the future.
