EDITOR, The Tribune.
I salute Loretta Butler-Turner for having the courage to stand by her convictions and not to capitulate to political pressure on the question of equal rights for women.
Mrs Butler-Turner’s decision to rise above the political fray and to work with the government and the Constitutional Commission to iron out any anomalies in the Bills before the House took guts.
She is to be commended for displaying a level of political maturity not often seen in the country.
It is hard to comprehend why anyone would deny Bahamian women the same rights and protections as Bahamian men, especially as it was the women’s vote that helped usher in Majority Rule in the Bahamas.
