Roco on family planning
I've seen Roco prevaricating and being evasive on the issue of family planning on Debate on Channel 7. ( Lacson, in contrast, is admirably straightforward in pushing for family planning using methods prohibited by the Catholic Church. )

I do not understand the need for Roco to be vague on this particular topic for fear of suffering a ballot backlash. Nobody--well, except perhaps the clergy and the Opus Dei--takes it against a presidential candidate tha fact that he supports artificial methods of curtailing the reproductive propensity of the populace. It is only among a few of our middle classes and the religious rich ( too minuscule a segment of our population to warrant attention) that being pro-life counts for something.

Let's face it: we are shy to directly tell it to our priests but, deep inside our sinful selves, we couldn't care less about the natural method. It is tedious and some people don't even have a pocket calendar.

The priests and the nuns are celibate. Just because they are non-reproductive doesn't mean we have to compensate for them. Roco should give a clear and determinate stand on the issue.
