Choice: Family Planning vs. Famine/Starvation

Tweet

In the Philippines, a reproductive health bill supporting the use of contraceptives and family planning methods has been passed in Congress. However, being a Catholic country, the church opposes such an order. In simpler terms, the government is trying to legalize safe human reproduction but the church strongly contradicts such because of the immorality attached to it.(I myself do not agree.) The consequences however, of continuing the current trend, would be an exponential rise of scarcity in resources(due to a dramatic rise in population) that could result in famine and starvation.(The main problem of overpopulation is not that there is not enough space, but the increase in the rate of consumption) Luckily, these consequences will be felt in the long run. For me, another solution aside from family planning should be implemented. The government can try and search for another way to solve these problems. There is no need to approve the bill. There may be another way. What do you think? Should the bill be rejected?
