A defense of Richard Lightbourn
Dear Editor,
I continue to be surprised by the unfair criticism that is being levelled against Richard Lightbourn for his "tube tying" comments at the recent FNM convention.
First of all, Lightbourn issued a prompt and unconditional apology for his remarks. For those who took issue with his remarks and who are aware of his apology, why is his apology not enough? Why do they find it necessary to co...

Poor Richard Lightbourn
Dear Editor,
Richard Lightbourn stumbled into a room full of FNMs and bumbled around like an old gelding that couldn't tell the difference between an abattoir and a stable. Either way he is political dead meat and he will surely be put out to pasture soon. Only the good people of Montagu can save him now.
There is no earthly reason why we should suppose that Richard didn't know that in 2016, forci...

Lightbourn should not have apologized
Dear Editor,
The haste with which Richard Lightbourn retracted his statements regarding tubal ligation was unwarranted and so are the attempts to eviscerate him in the media.
It is clear to me that his detractors completely missed the premise of his statements. Who among those championing "women's rights" would deny that there are associated with those and all "rights"?
It is those dalliances with...

Lightbourn's gaffe symptomatic of leadership
Bahamians were rightly outraged by member of Parliament Richard Lightbourn's suggestion that Bahamian women with more than two children tie their tubes. The statement was insensitive and crude. However, the fact that the comment was aired from a podium during the FNM's national convention reflected poorly on the leadership of the party.
I do not believe that Richard Lightbourn meant any harm by hi...

Wells: Butler-Turner, Lightbourn should go
Former Cabinet Minister Tennyson Wells said no one in their right mind would believe Long Island MP Loretta Butler-Turner and Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn should represent the Bahamian people after witnessing what took place at the Free National Movement (FNM) convention on Thursday night.
Nearing the end of her address to delegates on the second night of the three-day convention, Butler-Turner's...

Lightbourn unsure of nomination bid
Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn yesterday seemed undecided about whether he will seek a renomination from the Free National Movement(FNM) as backlash continued from his
at the FNM's convention that The Bahamas should look at putting in place a policy whereby the tubes of unwed mothers are tied after their second child if they cannot afford to care for their children.
Some people have opined that Lig...

Roberts: Force Lightbourn from frontline politics
Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) Chairman Bradley Roberts insisted over the weekend that Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn should be "forced from frontline politics" after suggesting that the state should tie the tubes of unwed mothers in The Bahamas after their second child if they cannot afford to care for their children.
Addressing the PLP's New Providence Women's Branch on Sunday, Roberts said, "Yo...

Lightbourn faces ridicule in Parliament
The recent apology issued by Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn over his proposed sterilization policy was not enough for him to escape ridicule in the House of Assembly yesterday.
Englerston MP Glenys Hanna-Martin said Lightbourn's comments -- made at the Free National Movement's (FNM) convention last Thursday night -- were "cruel, insensitive and offensive".
"We on this side abhor and condemn the mem...

Minnis: Lightbourn ignored speech vetting request
Leader of the Official Opposition Dr. Hubert Minnis told Parliament yesterday that Montagu MP Richard Lightbourn failed to submit his Free National Movement (FNM) convention speech for vetting after being asked to do so.
Minnis made the revelation after Lightbourn came under fire in Parliament for saying at the convention last Thursday night that the state should consider a policy whereby unwed mo...
