#1 The policy statement ignited a storm of criticism from opponents of female genital cutting.

Take what you can get or it will backfire in a big way.

#2 "Although the nick on a girls clitoris is illegal in the United States, the academys bioethics panel had noted it is practiced in some countries."

Ummmmm, NO. The backward, 6th century "countries" that "practice" this mutilation don't do just a "ceremonial nick" or "pinprick."

I'd suggest if they think FGM is such a great idea, they first do the exact equivalent to all the men.

#3 Barbara, that's a GREAT idea! Any country that practices FGM absolutely should do the male equivalent.

#4 EVERY one of the doctors doing the "insignificant nick" should have the same done to them prior to the surgery. I bet the scar tissue doesn't build up before the practice is stopped
