A study released by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention finds a four-fold increase in the risk of genital mutilation in girls under the age of 18, and a three-fold increase in girls and other women in the U.S, due to the wave of migrants from countries where the ritual is still practiced.
The increase has been happening over the course of a few decades as wave after wave of migrants have reached the US. The current rate means that half a million girls and women are affected or directly at risk of being subjected to the practice.
The practice has been bands in the United States for 20 years, but families who still practice genital mutilation are exploiting loopholes. The study observed a phenomenon called “vacation cutting,” where girls are sent back to the family’s country of origin to undergo the gruesome ritual.

Have you been circumcised lanelle? No? So stfu! Typical to make male suffering secondary. Nobody should have it done against their will period. Your excuses make you no better than those that practice it. Fyi its a circumcision not a clitorectomy. Talked to five guys who had it done? Increase sensitivity? B******t.
Last I checked 99 percent who had it done to them we’re infants. So how would they know the difference?
Bodily integrity. Everyone should be entitled to that.
Sick!
John…. Clitoretomy. Lydia…..you think we don’t know how to use soap? Make excuses why its ok to hack at an infant’s penis much?
No it isn’t Dee Dee. It’s pathetic how many people on here downplay male genital mutilation but are totally against it for women everyone is entitled to bodily integrity from day one. Saying it’s not so bad for males makes you no better than those that do this to women.

A bill that would have prevented the pedophilic practice of child marriage in Pakistan failed completely after the council of Islamic Ideology declared legislation “anti-Islamic: and “blasphemous.” The bill did not pass first muster and was pulled from consideration on Thursday after the judgement was passed by the Council of Islamic Ideology, which scrutinizes legislation to see if it compatible with Sharia law.
The only thing more insidious than a country that does not move against pedophilia is the idea that a country should be run by a backwards ideology. This is what makes Sharia so repulsive to those of us with a stronger sense of morality. How would the US respond if a Methodist council of ideology declared that limiting pedophilia was sinful? There would be riots and threats, guaranteed chaos that would only end after such a council was overthrown.
Lanelle …. Wow you are a sexist bigot.
Everyone is entitled to bodily integrity from day one period. Making excuses or saying one isn’t as bad as the other makes you no better than the sick fks in the article.
Thanks Libs!!
