Oh, god, here we go. Let the s***storm begin.. Humankind, all throughout its twisted and dark corridors of history, has contrived all sorts of imaginative yet lame excuses to justify puerile behavior, and mutilation is no exception. It makes me chuckle that this article is even asking the question of "how it makes you feel about government telling you what to". For centuries, governments of civilized cultures have codified laws defining proper and improper behavior to protect its citizenry from those who would cause harm. If the human species could be counted on making sane and logical choices based on reason and common sense most of the time, then a good chunk of the legislation on the books today would probably be nonexistant. Genital mutilation is insane, a perversion, a disgusting and vile act of degradation that is inflicted upon those whom are the least able to defend themselves, our children, and if it takes another piece of legislation to drive this sort of repugnant activity back into the depths of hell from which it came, then I am all for it.
It's a crime. There is no other word for it, and all the bleeding hearts out there (you know who you are) who are so eager to decry such propositions as an affront to their "rights" (religious, parental or otherwise) can piss and moan all you want about it, but in the end protecting a generation from an onslaught of psychosexual perversion and victimization is of far, far more importance than your pathetic ego. After all, we're not talking about a f****g haircut, we're talking about cosmetic surgery by force, an aggravated assault, on the most easily victimized people group in society. Not one medical association in this world recommends it, and there hasn't been one peer reviewed scientific study that has come out in its favor (backward and flawed studies on largely desperate, superstitious, and credulous people groups in third world countries do NOT count).
Thinking all this through, I have to call into question the mindset of someone who would actually rail against legislation that protects our young ones from genital mutilations. Forgive me, but somehow, in the context of circumcision, and after reading hundreds of silly albeit ignorant arguments propping up this abhorrent behavior, it becomes increasingly difficult at times to disconnect the phrases "parental choice" and "religious freedom" from the word "pedophile"... Ugh. We're a sick planet.. -Wes Martin.
