Really now? No health workers complaining? You seem to have ignored the health workers who have already protested against the bill, as shown below.
Med experts slam birth-control bill

BIOETHICS experts, doctors, and other health professionals criticized Reproductive Health Bill 5043 for reducing maternal health into a matter of “pregnancy prevention” or fertility control and for styling itself as anti-abortion
while promoting birth-control methods that are “potentially abortifacient agents.”
They also criticized the bill and its proponents for exaggerating maternal health problems contrary to the government’s own statistics that show pregnancy complications are
not a leading cause of death among Filipino mothers.
Some "non-issue", eh? NOT!!!
FYI, pro-life does not mean anti-contraceptive.
FYI, the contraceptives being pushed are ABORTIFACIENT. So they are anti-life. To be pro-life, in this context, is to be anti-abortifacient contraceptives.
To dispense an abortifacient is to cooperate in the possible murder of an innocent human being. To refer a person to someone who you know will do the same thing is to still cooperate in the same murderous act.
Birth control is NOT a therapeutic procedure. Pregnancy is not a disease. A pro-life doctor does NOT have to dispense a placebo; he simply has to refuse to dispense such contraceptives,. And that is his right because a doctor should be able to choose whatever he thinks is best for his patient.
But this stupid bill FORCES doctors to dispense abortifacients that are medically UNNECESSARY for curing disease
No one needs to define "disinformation" in this bill. Whether this bill passes or not, anyone should not be spreading information that they cannot prove. If you have solid proof that what you are saying is TRUE, then that is certainly NOT disinformation (no matter who defines the word) and you have nothing to fear!
Freedom of speech, in case you have forgotten, includes the right to say something that others may think is untrue. Just because you think you have solid proof does not mean others will agree with it. And that is the grave danger posed by this bill: it will be used to silence opposition by predetermining what cannot be said about the bill.
Your kind of thinking is like that of dictators use to silence opposition. They claim to be stopping "disinformation", but the turth is that they just want to impose their opinion on everyone else. That's what this idiotic bill is trying to do.
