The RH Bill Story: Contentions and Compromises

"This is the first book--a valuable resource--that chronicles the saga of the RPRH Law--from the drafting of the 1987 Constitution to the legal challenges it faced in the Supreme Court. Marilen unearths the dynamics between the progressive groups and the conservative sector--with the vigorous backing of the Catholic Church hierarchy--and brings life to the protrated debates in Congress. This is an edifying read for all those interested in advocating for policy reforms and in understanding the interactions between the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches of our government"
