To quote Mr. San Pascual from http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/10/20/09/pro-rh-groups-debunk-catholic-vote,

 

"We understand that people will not vote based on a single issue, but we believe that strong political will go against the whim of one sector for the greater good. It is a trait needed if we want to see a more progressive Philippines," San Pascual said.

 

I am reacting to way he calls the opposite position as a "whim". Its definition is "a sudden or capricious idea; a fancy" (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/whim). If what the other camp is fighting for were a whim, they would have given up their stance a long time ago after all the opposition leveled against them.

 

It is actually the RH bill that gives in to the whim of people who want to copulate on demand, without respect for the cycle of the woman. The RH bill will have an adverse effect on the future of our society, because it gives license to flunk "the marshmallow experiment" of delaying gratification.

 

A nation becomes great due to discipline. If the government relaxes self-control of the members of its country, anything and everything goes, until there is no more control.
