The continuation of the previous blog.

4. Promote Equity for poor families
- The RH indicator presents the intense inequities between the people who are rich and poor. An example mentioned was, 94% of women belonging to the upper class have a skilled and good attendant at birth comparing to the 26% from the people who in the lower class. This gap is what explains the reason why the people who are wealthy barely go beyond the number of children they planned to have and while the poor people go beyond the number of children they are capable to have.

5. Prevent induced abortions
- Unpremeditated pregnancies come before almost all the induced abortions. Among all these unwanted pregnancies, 68% happen to women without knowing anything about the family method, and 24% happened to the people using tradition family planning like the withdrawal or calendar abstinence. If modern family planning is used by the people who are willing to give it time or put a stop on wrong timing child bearing, the abortion rate would fall by more or less 500,000- that is clost to 90% of the estimated total.

6. Support and deploy more public midwives, nurses and doctors.
- The health service of the RH bill is demanded for people who are attempting to have a family. For example, a report by the MDG Task Force stresses on the need for having a fulltime midwife to attend to every 100 to 200 annual live births. While other healthy staff will be needed to attend to the millions who need before birth and after birth care, the baby care and of course, family planning. To invest in the center concerns of public health staff, the fundamental needs of many people will be served.

7. Guarantee funding for and equal access to health facilities
- When the bill is passed there will be a lot of support that RH will need for the many hospitals. It includes all health facilities in the barangays for the basic prenatal, baby and family planning care.

8.Give accurate and positive sexuality education to young people.
- There are a great number of young people who enter relationship, as well as marriage even without the being aware of its responsibilities. It then results to jeopardizing their future, health and sometimes their own life. RH bills prepares and gives more awareness to people who its effects.

9. Reduce cancer deaths
- With delaying sex and avoiding different partners or utilizing condoms they help avert genital warts or HPV. People must know that contraceptive does not increase the chances of getting cancer, when these pills are combines it actually reduces the chance of endometrial and ovarian cancers.

10. Save money that can be used for even more social spending.
- Being certain that modern use of family planning for all who needs it would rise up the spending from php1.9 B to php4.0 B, and the medical expenditure costs for unwanted pregnancies would be lowered to 3B to .6B, making a net saving of .8B.
