Statement of Support for the Ateneo Faculty and the Passage of the Reproductive Health Bill

To:  Ateneo de Manila University, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, and the Congress of the Philippines

We, students of the Ateneo de Manila University, alumni of the
Ateneo de Manila University, and other Filipinos, fully
support the statement of the faculty members of the Ateneo de Manila
University made on October 28, 2008 on the Reproductive Health Bill
pending before the Congress of the Philippines (see
http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/?page=news1_oct29_2008).

We further laud their efforts in trying to promote access to
reproductive health for all Filipinos through their well-researched
and thoughtfully argued position paper (see "Catholics Can Support the
RH Bill in Good Conscience"
http://www.4shared.com/file/68329978/6b6d8eab/Individual_faculty_of_the_ADMU-Position_Paper_on_the_Reproductive_Health.html).

We call on the Ateneo de Manila University, the Catholic Bishops
Conference of the Philippines, and the Congress of the Philippines to
respect and consider the valid and compelling arguments these
professors have made in favor of giving all Filipinos, rich or poor,
complete access to reproductive health.

We call on all them and all Filipinos to come together and support the
passage of the Reproductive Health Bill into law.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
