THE LAND OF THE FREE TO GENITALLY MUTILATE WOMEN AND CHILDREN:

JUDGE RULES THAT FEDERAL LAW BANNING FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

<< A federal judge dismissed criminal charges against two doctors in a landmark female genital mutilation case and ruled that Congress "overstepped its bounds" by passing a law banning the procedure. The case centered on two Michigan doctors and six others charged last year in connection with arranging to perform female genital mutilation on nine girls, four from Michigan and five of whom were brought to the state from Illinois and Minnesota.

While female genital mutilation has been a federal crime in the United States for more than two decades, the Michigan doctors were the first to be charged under the law. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement touted the indictments at the time, saying the charges "will hopefully deal a critical blow to stamping out this inhumane practice". But on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman found the federal ban unconstitutional, ruling that, among other reasons, female genital mutilation is a "local criminal activity" that must be regulated by the states, not Congress.

Genital mutilation is the removal of all or part of a female's genitals for nonmedical reasons. It is condemned by the United Nations and considered a human rights violation, but the practice is common for girls in parts of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The World Health Organization says more than 200 million women and girls living in 30 countries have experienced FGM, the common acronym for female genital mutilation. >>

Frankly I don't think any kind of genital mutilation should be legal (aside from consenting adults tho I suppose). Certainly not in children. This case will likely be overturned and or prosecuted under other laws.

If that was constitutionally correct, then abortions should also only be regulated by the states.

Female genital mutilation or any other kind of abuse and oppression of women doesn't fall under freedom of religion or thought.

I think I head about this case some time ago and now they are going to get let off?
I will have to look further into this..

I've seen this scenario in one of those medical TV shows before. What I don't understand is whatever the f*** is their purpose for mutilating a young girl's private parts? Yes, it's their culture, but what does it exactly do and why do they do that? If those girls have parents and they allowed to let this barbaric practice be done to their child then they should be held responsible. They just ruined the kid's life!

Let the children grow, and let them decide what genitalia they need to remove !!!
I do not think that it is normal when a child is disfigured without his adequate choice.
