America Pediatrician Association Approves Genital Mutilation
The American Association of Pediatrics has chosen to support a less gruesome form of female genital mutilation practiced by many Muslim countries. They argue that this it to keep those families from going to their country of origin in order to have more drastic forms of mutilation – while this does seem somewhat reasonable, doesn’t it make more sense that those who really want to do it will go there anyway?
NO form of female genital mutilation should be allowed in the United States. It is barbaric and sadistic. Any concession to this practice is a tacit acceptance of it, and will inevitably lead to more allowances.
I urge every American (and anyone else) that finds unacceptable the accommodation of this evil practice to call this organization and let them know what you think about it…
