Should abortion be legalised?

In a letter to the editor published in The Gleaner, Donald Jefferson McKoy from Spanish Town, St Catherine, writes: "Many people, including Christians, are against abortion. And there are those, including Christians who support it. It is said that abortion is murder. It's the taking of a life, which is totally against the will of God."

Is corporal punishment justifiable?

"Most Jamaicans believe that corporal punishment, although illegal in some cases and definitely frowned on by the authorities, should be allowed in schools to punish children deemed to have behaved badly. In fact, 28 per cent of Jamaicans are in favour of giving teachers the right to physically punish students, and they help to make up the 60 per cent in favour of spanking and caning in the island's schools.

Should condoms be distributed in schools?

Andrew Holness, the minister of education, has maintained his stance that no condoms will be distributed in Jamaican schools. Instead, he says the recently revised health and family life education programme being implemented in secondary schools is intended as the means through which students will be empowered to make healthy lifestyle decisions.
