7 out of 10 Pinoys voice approval

As the country waits with bated breath for the Supreme Court (SC) ruling on the controversial Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, or the Reproductive Health (RH) Law, the Social Weather Stations (SWS) in its latest survey said 70 percent or seven out of 10 Filipinos are in favor of the law.

The March 2014 survey reaffirmed previous findings and showed that many Filipinos, Catholics included, support the RH Law and only 7 percent do not. Specifically, it showed that 84 percent of the respondents agree that the government must provide free family planning services to the poor.
