I’m starting to be really irked at this moralist types. Here’s a thought FUCK YOU!<\/p>\n

Things That Suck: The Manila<\/a> City Ban
\nI’m pretty good about keeping tabs on viciously stupid domestic policies all-time favorites include the anti-prostitution pledge<\/a> and the merciless application of the material support bar to asylum but I rely on experts in the field to keep me apprised of other countries’ bullshit<\/a> legislation and executive orders. Recently, via a tip from the very wonderful Payal Shah at the Center for Reproductive Rights<\/a>, former Mayor of Manila Jose “Lito” Atienza<\/a>‘s Executive Order<\/a> 003 made it onto the list.
\nEO 003, which was issued in 2000 and remains in force, deprives women in Manila of access to contraception<\/a> and family planning<\/a> information. Although the order did not impose an outright ban, its call to “promot[e] the culture of life<\/a>” by “discouraging the use of artificial methods of contraception” has resulted in an effective prohibition. Since its issuance, city clinics and hospitals have not provided contraception.
