Michigan Senate votes to outlaw female genital mutilation

Reuters: The Michigan Senate approved legislation on Wednesday making genital mutilation of girls a state felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison, both for doctors who perform the procedure and parents who transport a child to undergo the surgery.

The legislation, which now goes to the state House of Representatives, was spurred by the case of an emergency room physician charged last month under federal law with performing genital mutilation on two 7-year-old girls at a suburban Detroit medical clinic.

  1. Now if Michigan — and the rest of America — would just outlaw sharia law all together, that’d be perfect!

    Wish I had gone to the stupid pussy women’s march in DC with huge posters of mutilated female genitals and shouted like crazy about FGM. If those stupid women want something REAL to protest about, this would be it.

  2. Why ban a procedure? Why not ban those whose culture practices said procedure? If the good folks of Michigan had any brain or balls they’d round up every damn one of those rag heads and send them back to the 3rd world hell holes they came from.

  3. Is it not considered a crime if you lop the privates off of a boy?
    Why then do they need to even make a ‘new’ law for girls? It doesn’t make any sense! >:|

  4. Several years ago, the American Academy of Pediatrics were not against FGM. They got a lot of backlash and walked it back. Still unbelievable that they thought that way in the first place but they are very much a liberal organization.
