I am writing about the RH Bill. A proposed bill aiming to guarantee control over population growth.

*I support RH Bill
 
Not knowing what the RH Bill is, I can give you a basic structure for any introduction.

In your introduction include your topic, what it is and your aim. Something like "An RH Bill has been proposed by _____, which aims to _______. In this essay (or whatever the piece is formally) I will suggest why such a bill should be supported."

Leave the details for the body of your piece.

Good luck :)
 
You will want your introduction paragraph to contain a thesis statement, probably toward the end. This statement might be something like "The RH Bill is a piece of legislation that should be passed at the next available opportunity."

You will want to build toward this thesis statement by giving the reader a general idea of why the bill should be passed. This is information that will be expanded upon in greater detail in your supporting paragraphs.

Begin by addressing your reasons for coming to your conclusion. Why SHOULD the bill be passed? You might mention some of the problems faced by large families, such as shortages of resources, like food, clothing; even medical care and education. You might include research from a reputable source that suggests that countries with smaller average family sizes have higher standards of living. You could then assert, with the support of a reputable source, that the mothers of such families would prefer to have had fewer children. You could go on to assert, with the support of a reputable source, that women who have access to family planning resources have fewer children. This would lead to the assertion, with the support of a reputable source, that fewer children means more resources for each child. You could finish up by stating that it is obvious that increasing resources per child is a desirable outcome, as this is what constitutes a rise in standard of living.

After this, you have a perfect lead-in to your thesis statement. You can now suggest that the RH bill represents a very viable means for achieving the goal described in the preceding sentences. It may be necessary, within the context of your assignment, to give some background information on the bill. This can come before or after the thesis statement, with proper transition.
