SC proposes to trim down issues on RH law

Supreme Court Associate Justice Jose Catral Mendoza proposed to trim down the issues that will be covered in the oral arguments for the controversial reproductive health law (RH law). During the pre-oral argument at the Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday, June 6, Mendoza suggested 3 issues to be covered for the RH Law arguments: 

1) Proscription against involuntary servitude/equal protection clause; 
2) Right to life/freedom of religion/natural law; and
 3) freedom of speech/academic freedom.

 The respondents and intervenors agreed on Mendoza’s proposal, but petitioners “asked for more time to discuss among themselves the issues that they want to raise during the oral arguments.”
