Dear Editor,
The long historical contribution of Bahamian women to every sphere of development in the Commonwealth of The Bahamas has been heralded and recorded for decades.
Therefore, I am sadden and dismayed by the historically incorrect and extremely insensitive remarks by Richard Lightbourn, member of Parliament for Montagu.

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...
