      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.

      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 back

      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 …

      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!

      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.

      I don't believe that the problems with outlawing male circumcision need to stand in the way of outlawing FGM. They are not the same. The law needs to adjust to be logical and fit the circumstance.

      There are many types of #FGM. Type IV, the type involved in the Detroit case & that you just got so upset about, is a piercing of tissue that normally isn't amputative & is, objectively considered, far less extensive or invasive than amputating a foreskin.

          It is precisely because foreskin amputation is deemed legal & is both more severe than Type IV #FGM & comparable to clitoral hood removal, that some MDs (e.g. Arora & Jacobs) say both Type IV #FGM and clitoral hood removal should be permitted for girls: https://jme.bmj.com/content/medethics/42/3/148.full.pdf …

          Yet the case is one of 'mutilating a minor/s, whilst countless number of male neonates , infants and children's et al are undergoing far more invasive procedures than one presented in this case. The world is F'Crayzeeee!
