iam90sbaby 2,125 Posted November 21, 2018 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/federal-judge-rules-law-banning-female-genital-mutilation-is-unconstitutional-dismisses-charges-again-michigan-doctors A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the U.S. law banning female genital mutilation was unconstitutional and dismissed charges against several doctors in Michigan who carried out the procedure on underage girls as part Muslim sect’s religious practice. U.S. District Judge Bernard Friedman ruled that Congress had no authority to enact a law that criminalizes female genital mutilation (FGM). “As despicable as [FGM] may be… [Congress] overstepped its bounds” by banning the procedure, the judge said.

wiffleball 4,646 Posted November 21, 2018 I think we all agree that I'm not exactly a raging feminist, but I think that's just cruel. I mean I don't see any reason to punish our female Generals. I mean, how many of them can there be? Just count me down as opposed to female General mutilation. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,895 Posted November 21, 2018 Just count me down as opposed to female General mutilation.I prefer a more specific form of female mutilation too. Like acid on the whole face is sort of vague, but theyll wonder why I cut off just the one nipple. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,646 Posted November 21, 2018 As abhorrent as I find this, I worry what's next. Especially with the current feminazi crowd out there.

They might not be rallying, but there has been a push toward not cutting for awhile now.

I'm generally in favor of the more local the better, but this kinda strikes me like one state will outlaw it and the next state over won't, people will travel to the next state to mutilate their daughter's genitals.
