IN DEFENSE OF LIFE

WE THE UNDERSIGNED Filipino Citizens, of legal age, STRONGLY SUPPORT the ratification of Cong. Roilo Golezs House Bill # 13 better known as An Act Providing for the Safety and Protection of the Unborn & for Other Purposes for the following reasons:

1. The bill acknowledges the unborn child as a human being with human personality and extends the mantle of legal protection to the child from the moment of conception.

2. The bill aims to promote the right of the mother and the children most especially the unborn child to assistance including proper care and nutrition, special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation and other conditions prejudicial to their development.

3. The bill aims to enhance the health of the mother by avoiding means that may adversely affect the viability of the unborn child in all stages of its maturity.
