Why not file a fed complaint to set the precedence that this procedure is a violation of constitutional rights of minor children? It angers me that we have to do that bc doctors should know better. You are a doctor first! Do no harm first and foremost.

I'm so angry about this. I think they should loose their med license bc they chose to harm children based on religious belief. They allowed this belief to dismiss the fundamental role of the physician.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The entire US medical profession has a serious

What? I don't have time to research this right now but are you saying that medical associations are condoning this? What about the pediatricians? Dont tell me they have failed to take a stand against this!?@#?

Here's what
#AAP said about Type IV#FGM - the type of FGM involved in this case - in 2010: "[T]he ritual nick ... is not physically harmful." http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/125/5/1088.full.pdf … AAP "retired" that statement after massive public backlash, but w/#FGM ban now gone, who knows? It may come back1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -

And it's not just Type IV
#FGM that some US doctors promote. Drs. Jacobs & Arora have already said that removing girls' clitoral hoods is just fine. They will now have $$ in their eyes. Make no mistake, child genital cutting is big business.#i2#meded https://jme.bmj.com/content/medethics/42/3/148.full.pdf …1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

That's it! Stop the visas now!
@realDonaldTrump Not only are they taking residency spots from Americans but they are infiltrating our associations of authority and allowing female genital mutilation! Omg. Stop this NOW! Have we lost our minds? I did not know!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

They can't outlaw fgm, while allowing mgm (circumcision). That's the problem. We have to stop both. But too many western cultures were tricked into thinking mgm is "fine and can even be beneficial", which is what the tricked believers in fgm also say.

A 12 year old girl can give consent. A baby cannot. Consent is something legal people might focus on. Regardless, I dont think male circumcision is something terribly important to people. I think they just do it. We can change that. Who is heartbroken by not being circumcised?

In what country is 12 the legal age of consent? That seems way too low to be appropriate. Consent is something everyone, not just "legal people," need to focus on, especially parents & pediatricians. No CHILD is heartbroken by not being cut. If they are, they get cut as ADULTS.

I'm with you Bill. I need to review the literature before I write my statement and make official stance against it, but that is my plan.
