Dinah S. Ventura
05/25/2011
I don’t know about you, but I find it off-putting for anyone to condone any kind of chaotic solution when one is confronted by resistance. When it was reported, for example, that some religious leaders had warned of a possible civil disobedience if the Reproductive health (RH) bill is passed, I was struck by the image of a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.
