Lying for a Cause

Alfredo R. Melgar

A video entitled “RH BILL – Filipinos For Life Oppose the RH Bill!” uploaded by www.filipinosforlife.com on YouTube made a hilarious mistake about a contraceptive method (or so I thought at first). The video claimed:

In 1974, Henry Kissinger and the United States saw the need to curb the population of 13 developing countries including ours. Planned Parenthood and UNFPA went to these countries and in exchange for foreign aid… sterilizations, condoms, intrauterine device and oral contraceptives.

With the word “sterilizations“, the video showed a picture of kids in line and a young girl screaming and being given an injection (see screen capture below).

A young girl forcibly sterilized to curb population growth—who would not be furious at this scene? Except that a minimal effort at research will show that sterilizations in family planning refer to tubal ligation for women and vasectomy for men, done through surgical procedures and not through injections.

Where did the photo come from? How can this anti-RH group make such a silly mistake? With the obvious guess that the photo is about vaccination for kids, I found the source of the photo with a single Google image search.

After seeing that the source of the photo has the word “vaccination” in the article’s headline, I have to retract my initial “silly mistake” reaction. The group behind the video wants to shock and anger its audience into an anti-RH position, and simply lied to further its cause. Now let’s wait and see if they will change their video and stick to speaking the truth.

  3. i tried to view the video on youtube but they've set it to "private," meaning you can only view it if they grant you access. what's the point of making a supposedly "educational" video if people can't view it freely? walang logic, just like their position on the RH Bill 🙂

  5. Americans are sterilized through chemicals in the food/water and vaccinations. Famously the Cervarix vaccine for girls. It's part of the NWO agenda.

  6. No only lying but stealing (a photo) for a cause. Stupidity can be contagious and that site should be reported for spreading twisted information on the web.

  8. The video is a half-truth. This, however, the half that is true … "In 1974, Henry Kissinger and the United States saw the need to curb the population of 13 developing countries including ours. Planned Parenthood and UNFPA went to these countries and in exchange for foreign aid… sterilizations, condoms, intrauterine device and oral contraceptives."

    • chong, yung Kissinger report diba parang Wikileaks lang? it has never been confirmed nor disproved by official channels so i think na irresponsible to claim na totoo sya

      pero kahit na totoo sya, kung balak ng US dati na paliitin muna ang population ng mga bansang gusto nilang sakupin noong 70's , feeling ko maglulundag pa nga sa tuwa ang lahat ng mga pinoy ngayon pag naging parte na ng US na ang Pinas. Isipin mo, magiging american citiizens na lahat tayo ng walang kahirap-hirap pang mag nurse o mag TNT pa

      • Kung "Wikileaks lang" bakit nanggigigil ang US kina Julian Assange & Bradley Manning? Gusto mong pumunta sa Ta-Te, sige, kung welcome ka duon. Kaya nga nila gustong bawasan ang bilang ng Pinoy e, ayaw nila ng maraming Pinoy,

    • @Filozopher

      The Kissinger report is irrelevant to the fact that women have a fundamental right to access to reproductive health services, including access to birth control methods that they believe is ideal to their circumstances.

      And last I checked with Planned Parenthood today, they're more in the business of helping women plan for pregnancies, not preventing them – only 3 percent of their resources actually goes into abortions, with the bulk of their budget going to mammograms, neonatal care, and pre/post-birth counseling.

      • The Kissinger Report is the half of that message that is true, anyway. Sure hope Planned Parenthood is cleaning up its mess staring with its racist eugenics beginnings up to the fiascoes of accommodating abortions for child prostitutes & racially targeted funding for abortions. Organizations like that give me the creepers jeepers & I want them as far away from my family as possible after viewing the videos of the rally supporting them. Do you want me to post the videos I'm talking about?

        • Oh you mean the hatchet job about the fake pimp and fake whore pretending to ask about having fake abortions on imaginary trafficked prostitutes, so a set up is the same as telling lies.. is that the video you wanted to talk about?

        • [Sure hope Planned Parenthood is cleaning up its mess staring with its racist eugenics beginnings up to the fiascoes of accommodating abortions for child prostitutes & racially targeted funding for abortions.]

          And yet another willing patsy of the already-debunked Lila Rose fiasco:

          Sure, post the videos. Imma ordering some pizza and Pepsi 😀

          @fact check

          I'm assuming you're talking about the Lila Rose incidents, right?

          • You were referring the accommodation of abortions and child prostitutes as the fiascoes; Anybody with a sliver reading can see that from your comment, you dumb shit.

            Let's see what you wrote again:

            [Sure hope Planned Parenthood is cleaning up its mess staring with its racist eugenics beginnings up to the fiascoes of accommodating abortions for child prostitutes & racially targeted funding for abortions.]

            I, on the other hand was referring to the ACCUSATIONS of the Pro-Life of PP accommodating child prostitutes as the fiasco here.

            [Keep your pizza, remembering the video made me lose my appetite.]

            Thank you for admitting what we already know – that women being rightfully angry at jackasses like you for denying them rights sickens you. Schadenfreude, herr schweinhund.

          • Well, I can judge from your language that you are in the same company, that you don't deny that it was a mess & I call acts of entrapment as "fiascoes". Cheerio! Or should I say, "Sieg Heil! :=)

          • [Well, I can judge from your language that you are in the same company, that you don't deny that it was a mess & I call acts of entrapment as "fiascoes". ]

            I'm in the company of people who have a zero tolerance for fuckwit sleazebags like you, who try to weasel out of the context of their own comment, when what you've really said is in plain site.

            Let us review what you said again:

            [[Sure hope Planned Parenthood is cleaning up its mess staring with its racist eugenics beginnings up to the fiascoes of accommodating abortions for child prostitutes & racially targeted funding for abortions.]

            You were clearly not speaking about the act of entrapment as the fiasco – you were very explicit in describing PP's perceived harboring of child prostitutes as the fiasco.

            Learn to fucking read, dumkopf.

          • Grammar Nazi, actually.

            And you're intentionally attempting to mislead us. Again.

            While Margaret Sanger may have been a eugenicist, the fact is that Planned Parenthood today has been beneficial to US women, providing them with several services that include cancer screening, STD treatment and prevention, and family planning education.

            Given that only 3 percent of their resources are ever spent on abortions, if they are still eugenics-oriented, I would say they are doing a very bad job 😉

            Now it's your turn: How far have women-hating pigs like you evolved, if at all?

    • Filo, there is a difference between a religion agreeing/disagreeing to the RH Bill and announcing it publicly, and a religion that decides to oppose it by crossing the line with threats of excommunication, denial of religious services, lying, and threatening legislators with civil disobedience.

      • If the threats are empty, I think they deserve a good laugh. If the support is given without reading the RH Bill, that deserves a good laugh too. Besides, I'm waiting for my excommunication notice as well.

  10. nakakatawa yung website nila, pang comedy talaga, when I first read it, kala ko satire website sya sa dami ng lies and innacuracies being postd. and their motto is "we have bound together as one group and one voice: to speak the truth blah, blah" gimme a break!

    nung nabisto na picture ng vaccination yun at di sterilization, pinagtanggol pa ng moderator nila yung gumawa ng video at nag-insist na totoo daw yun, may pinakita pa ngang news article about an incident from 2004 na may contaminated batch of polio vaccines silang nakita na nakaka-cause daw ng sterilization http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/archive/ldn/2004…

    ano naman kaya ang kinalaman nun sa RH Bill? di ko talaga ma-connect yung mga sagot nila. do these people even know what they're talking about? I seriously question not only their honesty but their IQ as well

    • [I seriously question not only their honesty but their IQ as well ]

      Welcome to the club. We've been asking the same question for a very long time 🙁

  13. Wes, they weren't lying for Christ. They were lying for themselves. 😀

    Badtrip. They use the Lord's name in vain the most. Something's very, very, verrryyyy wrong in the Catholic system. No offense to the Catholics out there, but isn't it obvious?

  14. But castration of little boys was already a Catholic tradition since the 1500's diba?

    The il Castrato were prominent members of the Vatican's choir and they had no qualms castrating little boys before puberty to maintain their high singing voices for the benefit of the Pope and his clergy. Pope Sixtus was particularly fond of the castrated boys's voices. In his Papal Bull "Cum Pro Nostri Temporali Munere", he specifically made arrangements to have castratis sing for him. They could have instead chosen to use girls to sing the high notes but women were banned by the Pauline dictum Mulieres in Ecclesiis Taceant ("let women keep silent in church" I Corinthians14:34).

    So no, child abuse and misogyny is nothing new to the Catholic Church, its actually a much cherished tradition passed on throughout the ages.

    • So instead of spreading the audacious lie that Planned Parenthood and UNFPA are sterilizing children, anti-RH groups should deal with the fact that popes used to castrate (which is not vasectomy, but sterilization+++!) boys for their hearing pleasure. I did not know this. Still happening today?

      • There were a lot of documentaries done on the subject of the Castrati. They were like eunuchs in most respects.

        "The golden age of castrati lasted for two centuries, from the beginning of the 17th Century to the dawn of the 19th Century. Officially admitted into the Papal choir from 1599, they performed in all large towns throughout Italy. First, they sang exclusively in religious choirs, however, they soon became used in musical dramas. In the 18th Century, a musical form known as "Opera Seria" was created for them. The last castrato, Alessandro Moreschi died in 1922.

        The usual explanation given to justify the use of castrati was that women were forbidden to sing in church choirs or theatres in the papal states. However, their vocal supremacy was the real reason for their extraordinary popularity. They were frequently described as having the 'voice of angels'."
        source: http://www.sonypictures.com/classics/farinelli/ab…

        so yeah, its quite OK to lie for Christ, to kill for Christ, and even to castrate for Christ apparently. But hey, if a pope wrote an actual Papal Bull promoting the castration of little boys, why is Pro-Life so adamant against it then? Basta sumali ka sa church choir after ka magpa-kapon, OK na diba?

        • Disgusting. If they want to hear high voices so much, they should have castrated each and every ordination into priesthood. Less problems with the sexual abuse cases, less problems with wanting to hear high voices. They're vowed into celibacy anyway, that shouldn't be a big problem for these so called bachelors for life. Problems solved.

          Anyway, more seriously, the way Christianity is perverted by the Vatican and Catholics overall is horrifying to me.
