Walk On

I colored the letters carefully, not wanting to make any mistake to our placards. I wanted it to be seen by everybody else. It was for a good cause anyways. After my group mates and I finished our placard, one of my groupmates held it high, and we went for the procession for life.

as former fetuses, we oppose abortion!

Instead of thinking that yesterday was the Valentine's Day, I thought of it as a day for Life, that everyone should  be given the right to live, no matter what happens. I joined the procession not because of a school requirement, not even because all my friends are going. It's because I wanted to. I support the cause. I support that all babies need to be born and cared for until they grow up. It should not be a choice of the parents whether or not they should live or not. They do not have the right to just kill a fetus with a beating heart. Just so you know, I am against Abortion. 

I am also against the controversial RH Bill, but not the whole bill itself. I may have to agree that some of the contents of the bill need to be passed, but some must not be passed. This RH Bill is actually Pro-Life, if I may say, because it provides care to the baby and to the mother. But what I do not agree with is the sexual education of 5th grade pupils. I don't know if this is still a provision of the bill or not anymore, but the last time I read the bill, it is still contained there. Maybe it could be taught to high school students, wherein they are in their mature minds. Another provision is the use of contraceptives. I do not agree to artificial method of family planning because there is this natural method of family planning.

Anyways, yesterday, the crowd was overwhelming. Many had their placards containing words of support pro-life. We had our walk with our placards up as we prayed the rosary together. We also sang some Marian Songs and prayed Hail Mary in the dialect. When the long walk was over, a mass was done, but I was not there anymore. Eek. Sorry for that one.

Concluding, in search for true light, we need to have this rally to life. They also need to experience life as we did. As one of the placards yesterday said, "If you were aborted before, you think you're still alive?" In search for an answer, we need to cooperate with each other, cooperate with God, and walk on.
