This was what Department of Health spokesman Dr.
Alberto Romualdez stressed on Saturday, saying that not even the
most severe economic crisis can prompt the government to tolerate
abortion.
During the Kapihan sa Sulo forum
in Quezon City, Romualdez noted that a pending reproductive
health bill in Congress is not pro-abortion but merely mentions
the use of artificial methods of birth control such as intrauterine
devices and pills.
“Suffering from an economic
crisis will never be a valid reason [for the government] to allow
abortion in our nation,” he said.
