Can someone please explain the difference between female genital mutilation and circumcision?
Because it sure seems like in both cases baby genitals are being mutilated.
Yet one is illegal and condemned, but the other is legal and expected.

I was told by an officious nurse, "Only a doctor can do that." Fortunately we got it straightened out, & our son escaped the American

So sorry your family had to go through that trauma, Bill. We were fortunate and the pressure stopped when it was clear we were not going to change our minds. His pediatrician mentioned it one more time when she saw him the first time, but was very informative & accepted our wish.
