Condemning Richard Lightbourn's remarks

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.
I trust that these unfortunate remarks cause a greater awareness of ...

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.

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...
