DAVAO CITY, Jan. 9, 2010—Anti-life advocates may have succeeded at some point, but their arguments remain to be baseless, misleading and erroneous.

This is the strong statement issued by Mati Bishop Patricio Alo who said that “many of the anti-life arguments are misleading and erroneous and maybe influenced by the lure of money.”

Bishop Alo warned that those who support the anti-life agenda unknowingly engaged into corruption because the program in itself is a kind of corruption.

“They are just making man slave to the passing glory and sensual pleasures of the world. They simply disregard the basic fact that life is sacred,” he said.

He also said that the arguments that matter are those based on truth, not just on transitory or volatile reasons.

“They (anti-lifers or Reproductive Health Bill supporters) give reasons such as poverty, overpopulation, hunger and many others which are erroneous,” said Bishop Alo.

Bishop Alo said those arguments have no sufficient basis for terminating life or potential life by means of abortion or contraception.

“You do not solve the problem of life by terminating life. Things were made for man and not vice versa,” he said, adding:

“The ideal is to produce noble citizen of the earth and future citizens of God’s heavenly kingdom.” (Mark S. Ventura)
