THIS month of October we are celebrating Children’s Month. I find it very inconsistent though that the very same body which started all these rights-of-the-child thing, the United Nations, would be the very same body also that would spearhead something that violates one of the basic rights that have been ratified by governments and states of the world after a decade of consultations with various religions, cultures, societies, institutions, organizations, etc.
Then here in the Philippines, which is one of the states which ratified the Rights of the Child, our lawmakers are trying to pass a law which once again destroys the spirit of the Rights of the Child through a bill comfortably labeled as something for the sake of women.
This very fundamental right is the Right To Be Born. Maybe I see it in a very simplistic way but isn’t it ironic that the United Nations initiated this activity but then again they would disregard such a very important right (the very first right according to the Rights of the Child) and promote the use of contraceptives among its member-nations?
It is written in very simple English and has been translated in all languages and dialects I suppose. This right is a very significant part of the entire list of children’s rights because upon it stands all other rights. It is a foundation upon which all the other rights stand as pillars. Without this right all the other rights would be useless. How can one enjoy the right to grow and develop if he or she is not provided with all the support to enjoy the right to be born?
The celebration of the Children’s Month would be another useless waste of time, money and resources if the sanctity of this right would not be upheld. If we really want to have a true celebration of Children’s Month then let us support all the rights of the child especially the fundamental right which is the right to be born and oppose every program, project or activity that would make this right a thing of the past!

got your drift lance2008...the right to be born....
then what??// is the child will have the right to have a roof over his head? to eat 3x a day, access to health and dental needs, education and to live in peaceful neighborhood rid-free of crime and environmental pollution.
the point here is to avoid unplanned pregnancy and not after the fact. if a woman have a choice to when she want to concieve and procreate in medically safe way, i'll bet a peso to lance, there will be no discussion about the right to be born at all.

Anyone has the right to be born but not borne out of my miseries to feed others who had that same right. Just dont bear any so theres no rights trespassed.
WHAT?!?
You are not thingking in a very simplistic way, you are thinking in a very WRONG way. We are not talking about abortion here, so you beleive that it is wrong to hinder the reproductive potential every sexual intercourse? Nevermind the drunk husband who comes home and obligates her wife to do it, how about teenagers or how about paid sex? You are saying that we should protect the child that might not be conceived if we use contraceptives, or if we educate the youth about their bodies? Wow!
Why are the hollier-than-thou-crowd so fixated on the sex and conception side of life? Bringing life into this world means making that commitment to take care, love, provide for the needs of another human being until he/she becomes an adult and beyond. If the parent cannot make this commitment, we as a society, as a nation is responsible for that child. In our case, it not making the commitment thats the problem but capacity to fulfill that commitment. Lets face it, a farther who collects and segregates garbage for a living will not be able to support a family of 10 even if he works non-stop. If our country cannot provide child welfare, homes for squaters and provide quality education to every youth then we are in the same predicament as the father.
I am supportive of any government policy in reproductive health and/or population control not because anything else but the children. We probably have the most conservative government and laws in all of the christian world, yet we are more known for using child labour. How can we say that we value life when people die wihout ever seeing a doctor? Maybe the religous feel content in giving a peso to a child beggar after they attend mass. I just want so much better that.
a child has a right to be born- but parents do not have the right to bring a child into a life of misery. i'm pregnant- BY CHOICE, and that makes a whole lot of a difference. Had i had a baby before my hubby and i were ready, it would have made everybody's life terrible- a child yet to come out into the world cannot make this RESPONSIBLE decision- but parents and people can.
where is it written "the right to be born" at all times?
right to be born...
it is very confusing, i don't know what this means.
Thus this means a sperm cell has a right to be born being the main component of human life.
Or how could a child need to be born where he is already a child, meaning he/she is already walking.
thus this also means that in sexual intercourse, there is already right to be born or there is right to be born in conception.
it is wrong to say right to be born where there is nothing to be born.
kindly rephrase...
what about castigating irresponsible parents who continuously bear children but are unable to feed them? and even let these poor kids work by begging in the streets?
lance, will you just turn a blind eye to these pathetic parents? or you lay the blame on govt. again?
The church should be responsible for all the hungry children in this country. What a bunch of hypocrites. They are against reproductive health but cannot even discipline their flock when it comes to responsible parenthood. The religious has nothing but empty words. When poor families who have more than five children go hungry, they cry out that the government isn't doing anything. For your information, the lowly taxpayers who limit the size of their family are the ones being burdened by these irresponsible people. Why don't the churches feed them for a change.
...hello Senatong...before you complain, try to call your Lola Gloring first. Instead of giving a paper bag of worth P500,000 to her Tongressman, she should have given it to the poor directly. I guess that a world record. A paper bag worth P500K. Also, don t tell your Lola Gloria not to say Hello Garcia kasi buking na buking na cya. Mag Hello Jocjoc na lang cya. Pinuhin nya naman at di man cya ma buking ulit.
Rights - whether moral or legal - impose obligations or duties on third parties towards the right-holder.
