Sanctions urged on parents who can’t raise kids well

A professor of the University of the Philippines Population Institute reasoned this way in appealing to congressmen to pass a bill imposing sanctions on parents who cannot provide for the needs and rights of their children.
'Basically. children's rights are [meant] to have a good life and a better future. If their parents could not give those to them and end up as the country's problems when they grow up. then let's impose sanctions. chair of the Reproductive Health Advocacy Network of the UP institute. told the Inquirer.
She reiterated that the country's population growth rate had remained 'on the uptrend' and was not even come close to the administration target of 1.94 percent.
Zablan's group is calling for increased use of contraceptive materials. pills and intrauterine devices. and tubal ligation and vasectomy.
But Zablan said: 'If they don't like to prevent pregnancy. it will only lead to abortion. It is [the] right of every child to be born and given a responsible life. Unwanted pregnancy will only lead to abortion.'
'It's controversial. We [will] see to it that it will be balanced. We want to discuss it publicly so that the people can vote diligently.' he said.
Nograles said HB 4110 was included in the calendar of activities but he could not give assurance that the legislators would finish discussing the matter.
'I am in favor of the bill. In the Philippines. we have a factory of babies. But it's a numbers game (in passing bills). If you have no numbers. you lose. I urge those lobbying for the bill to convince their respective congressmen to vote for the bill. Contact the Philippine Daily Inquirer's day desk. Believe this article violates journalistic ethics?
