Council of Churches pushes passage of RH bill
MANILA, Philippines - A group of religious organizations has urged lawmakers to speed up the passage of the Reproductive Health (RH) bill into law.
Rev. Rex Reyes Jr., secretary-general of the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP), said the bill is not just about the use of contraceptives but also the promotion of responsible parenthood.
“We should also look at the other (contents) or what is not being said in the RH bill. It’s not just about contraceptives. It’s basically about responsible parenthood and the responsibility of the State to see to it that all its citizens are given the benefit and the opportunity to lead decent lives as Filipinos,” Reyes said.
The NCCP is the largest group of non-Roman Catholic churches in the Philippines....
I respect the NCCP's stand on the RH-bill, even though I do not agree with them. But where are the wise guys who love to holler "separation of Church and State!" ? Hmm....
Double standard.

It ain't separation of Church and State if you agree with them
