MIRIAM: RH BILL PART OF RIGHT TO PRIVACY
By Marvin Sy and Delon Porcalla (The Philippine Star)
The Reproductive Health measure is an affirmation of the constitutional right to privacy as stipulated in several Supreme Court decisions, Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said yesterday.“The Supreme Court has recognized a right to privacy, even if there is no specific constitutional provision, because it is implied by several provisions in the Bill of Rights,” Santiago said in her co-sponsorship speech on the RH bill. “The right to privacy applies to sex, marriage, and procreation,” she said.
