You are clueless! My family will be coming to the Bahamas this weekend for the 2nd time in the past two months. The first time we brought a group of 11 and this time a group of 13 -- all tourist. The Health Visa is extremely easy to fill out online and only takes about 5 min from start to finish (if you are vaccinated). It's certainly NOT a hinderance or roadblock to visiting your country. Where are you getting your "facts?"
Yet another embarrassment from the Immigration department. What a complete disregard for basic human rights and due process of law. Something like this should NOT drag on for over a year!! China has a freakin Embassy in the Bahamas. This shouldn't be too difficult to work out a solution.
In addition to increased education on the topic of health, sex, etc... how about easy & free access to birth control? Teenagers will always be teenagers regardless of what the age of consent is. In their eyes, the age of consent isn't even on their minds or in the picture. In other words, it is irrelevant to a teenager. But what is relevant is the fact they will have sex and with increased access to birth control -- many of the unanticipated pregnancies can be avoided.
Let's try... more birth control education and more access to birth control. That is a good and very easy step one. In addition, more access and education to adoption as a solution to an unwanted pregnancy. And lastly, more access and education to abortion as a very, very last resort.
The combination of these three strategies may help alleviate children having children and folks having babies they have NO intention of raising or caring for.
Okay, stop with all the legal talk. Let's make this as simple as possible. Here are the scenarios. I'd like someone to answer each scenario and let explain if the child is automatically a Bahamian citizen or not. And all of these scenarios take place on Cat Island: 1) Bahamian man married to Canadian woman, they have a baby; 2) Canadian man married to Bahamian woman, they have a baby; 3) Bahamian man not married to Canadian woman, they have a baby; 4) Canadian man not married to Bahamian woman, they have a baby;
Okay, no legal talk. Just need an answer to all four scenarios. The answer is either yes, the baby is Bahamian or no, the baby is not Bahamian. Alright... go!
Are you telling me, that if a Bahamian man is married to a Canadian woman and they live on Cat Island and have a baby... that baby isn't automatically a Bahamian citizen? Is that what you are telling me? Is that how the law is written?
Furthermore, at the end of the day... what two adult males or two adult females do behind closed doors -- is NONE of my business. Just like I don't really care what you do at home behind closed doors. Hell, maybe you and your partner like to stick carrots up your ass and have a ball gag in your mouth -- I don't really care. If that is what you like -- I would support you and your partner 100%.
