Why Are U.S. Doctors Allowing Female Genital Mutilation?
But eh. After abortions, female genital mutilation ain't much a big step.

The American Academy of Pediatrics has issued an outrageous new policy on female genital mutilation, endorsing 'nicking' female genitalia as a cultural compromise.


At the end of last month, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a revised policy statement on female genital mutilation (FGM) called "ritual genital cutting of female minors," suggesting that the federal and state law in the U.S. should permit pediatricians to offer a ritual "nick" of girls' genitalia as a compromise to appease the cultural needs of their immigrant clients. International women's rights organizations from the U.S., Africa, and Europe were quick to respond to this outrageous proposition calling on the AAP to retract its 2010 statement and revert back to its much stronger 1998 statement on the subject. The AAP's response, however, has thus far been underwhelming and they continue to justify this latest position on three grounds:

• "Nicking" is a minor procedure equivalent to a pin prick or ear piercing and has no harmful health consequences.

• Offering the "nick" demonstrates cultural sensitivity in serving immigrant populations.

• The "nick" is a "compromise" that could prevent families from performing more severe forms of FGM on their daughters

FGM, which involves the partial or total removal of the female genitalia, is carried out across Africa, some countries in Asia and the Middle East, and by immigrants of practicing communities living around the world. It is estimated that up to 140 million women and girls around the world are affected by it. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimated in 1997 that over 168,000 girls and women living in the U.S. have either been, or are at risk of being, subjected to FGM.

[link to news.bbc.co.uk]

At least 300 girls in south-western Kenya have fled from home and sought refuge in churches in a bid to escape forced female genital mutilation (FGM).

The girls, some as young as nine, are at two rescue centres in rural Nyanza province, police told the BBC.

RIght!

This is the only culture known to practice FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION.

If someone out there wants to say ; the Jewish; they are wrong. Jews do NOT do this.
Jews do cut the fore skin off of a male babies penis. BUT it is done quickly and when the infant is newly born. I have witnessed it done. It does not harm the baby.
Actually, getting rid of the male fore skin is better when the male is an adult. Much cleaner.

So, anyone out there who says jew practice this FGM on their females is lying for the purposes of being a shill and getting away from the truth.

ONLY muslim culture does Female Genital mutilation and they do it at older ages and put the poor young females in a lot of pain.
I have heard this procedure was done on a female as old as 50.!!!!

Found another source because I was wondering if this policy involved just the labia or the clitoris to. It makes a HUGE difference, so the distinction was important to me.
So here it is:
[link to www.feministing.com]

International human rights organization Equality Now is stunned by a new policy statement issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which essentially promotes female genital mutilation (FGM) and advocates for "federal and state laws [to] enable pediatricians to reach out to families by offering a 'ritual nick'," such as pricking or minor incisions of girls' clitorises. The Policy Statement "Ritual Genital Cutting of Female Minors", issued by the AAP on April 26, 2010, is a significant set-back to the Academy's own prior statements on the issue of FGM and is antithetical to decades of noteworthy advancement across Africa and around the world in combating this human rights violation against women and girls. It is ironic that the AAP issued its statement the very same day that Congressman Joseph Crowley (D-NY) and Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack (R-CA) announced the introduction of new bipartisan legislation, The Girls Protection Act (H.R. 5137), to close the loophole in the federal law prohibiting FGM by making it illegal to transport a minor girl living in the U.S. out of the country for the purpose of FGM.


You know what? Not just, no -- OH, FUCK NO!!!!!
Destroying a female's ability to enjoy sex and orgasm is just plain, old fashioned, chauvinist pig, misogyny of a sort none of us can even imagine, not even our nastiest men. This better not go on here.
I will raise unholy hell if this is allowed to happen here and it's that simple.
I don’t know what egghead asshole they have in charge there but they need to be forced to resign if they can’t manage that themselves.
NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! FUCKING WAY!
What a bunch of fuckers!
I’m just really pissed reading something like this. Sorry, but I am outraged that this would even be suggested here in America.

Oh! and to the Muslim fuckers that want to practice this, don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out!

# “Yes it is allowed.
# Come closer so I can teach you:
#

# if you cut,
# do not over do it, because it brings more radiance to the face and it is more pleasant for the husband.”
# Mohammed is recorded as speaking of the Sunna circumcision to Ansar’s wives saying:

# “Cutting slightly with out exaggeration, because it is more pleasant for your husbands.”

MAYBE you should CHECK THE ACTUAL SITE instead of depending on a KNOWN BIASED site for info..

FROM www.aap.org

the AAP opposes all forms of female genital cutting that pose a risk of physical or psychological harm, and encourages its members not to perform such procedures. In addition, the AAP urges pediatricians and pediatric surgical specialists to actively dissuade parents from carrying out ritual FGC and provide families with education about the lifelong physical harms and psychological suffering associated with the procedure.
