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 -

I just followed you back; feel free to DM me. Like you, my time is limited, but I'd be happy to help you w/a paper or other projects. Here's a project idea: it seems to me like the time has come for a campaign to revoke medical licenses from Drs. Jacobs & Arora.

On the basis that they have argued that both Type IV #FGM and the removal of girls' clitoral hoods (Type I FGM) may be performed for non therapeutic reasons on girls.
Because there is no ethical justification for that, & physicians ought to have #ethics. #i2
