      - Anti - sodomy Law - A law that identifies and treats particular sexual acts as crimes.
- - - - For the advocates who promoted and supported the RH Law, having this law will help in caring for reproductive health because this will not only benefit women, but it will also produce a lower incidence of maternal deaths due to childbirth complications. Its provision on providing sexuality education will help the youth who are of the proper age to develop awareness regarding important things related to pregnancy.
        
        Maternal Mortality Ratio - Number of women who die from pregnancy and childbirth complications for every 100,000 live births.
        Universal Health Care - A system that provides overall health care and financial protection to all citizens of a specific country.
        Millennium Development - Eight worldwide developmental goals of the United Nations for the year 2015.
        LGBT - Collective term for lesbian, gays, bisexuals, and transgenders.
        
        In summary, the RH Law is a big step toward the achievement of women's rights. if it could be implemented properly, it can help in promoting not only the reproductive health of women but also the orderliness and well-being of the Filipino family in general. The RH Law can serve as a way to lessen the number of women dying due to childbirth complications and illegal abortions. Giving the youth proper awareness through sexuality education at the appropriate age also hopes to help avoid unwanted pregnancies and to encourage them to reach a more informed decision regarding sexuality related issues.
