Maine House Democrats Vote to Allow Female Genital Mutilation

But there is. And I believe there were 2 bills, dems favored a different one.

 

male genital mutilation is rampant

 

Yep. There already is a federal law prohibiting FGM: H.R.941 - Federal Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act of 1995

Federal Prohibition of Female Genital Mutilation Act of 1995 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit and set penalties for knowingly circumcising, excising, or infibulating any part of the labia majora, labia minora, or clitoris of another person who has not attained age 18, except where: (1) necessary to the health of the person on whom it is performed by a person licensed as a medical practitioner; or (2) performed on a person in labor or who has just given birth if performed for medical purposes connected with such labor or birth by a person licensed as a medical practitioner, midwife, or person in training.

 

It's not the same thing. Circumcision for males enhances sexual sensitivity. For women it takes it away, which is the point of doing it to women: taking away the pleasure a women would feel during intercourse so she doesn't enjoy it and wish for it. The aim is to keep women from being unfaithful to their husbands. It is a method of controlling women. Male circumsion is done for cleanliness only.

 

that is a federal law you want the federal government to start taking over policing in states
hell we cant even get many states to cooperate with the federal government on immigration laws

 

Along with sex change operations.

(And it is interesting to notice the connection that exists here)

 

These fake-news, anonymously-funded, propaganda sites like "Maine First Media" spew crap that some eagerly swallow and regurgitate.

The debate in Maine is about alternative approaches to prevent female genital mutilation, not whether to allow it or disallow it.

Outlawing the procedure without criminalizing the parents who might not know otherwise vs imprisoning parents for a Class A crime for up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $50,000.

Honest debate is not possible when one side needs to lie.

 

Then they should be made to know.
Don't let in any immigrants from female circumcising practicing countries without making sure they understand that FGM is a crime, and that it is not okay.

This is one more example of women's rights (that the Democrats supposedly hold sacrosanct) being sacrificed to diversity and trying to accommodate another culture.

 

Of course. That is part of the proposed alternative approach to incarcerating parents after the fact. It is far better to be pro-active rather than re-active, destroying families, and burdening the American taxpayer with the tab for 30 year in prison.

No one in Maine is supporting FGM.

 

Exactly the defense being used in the Michigan case.

It is sad that we might look the other way and allow foreigners to mutilate the young daughter in the name of cultural diversity, just because that is the way in the old country.

I don't want them here, and/or a bullet in the forehead is the cure.

 

This piece from last year has more on federal vs state prosecutorial abilities, read the whole thing at the link:

 

If they don't know that it's wrong, maybe they don't know that beating up women is wrong either. Should we make that legal too?

I could come up with a long list of "cultural customs" that they may not know are wrong...

 

Sexual pleasure is for men anyway

 

No, more like cutting hair and finger nails.
Or dental cleaning / hygiene... lol

 

Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids !

 

Does it prevent Female Genital Mutilation
Under Shapoopie law ?

 

Oh, come ON Natty. You can't seriously believe these parents don't know what they're doing.

 

Being that this procedure to take away female pleasure was mainly designed to control women, I am astounded the left doesn't do more to ban and stop it.
Its obvious that women sit lower in leftist pecking order than Islam. They are not for women's rights except when it gets them votes.

 

What kind of Man wants to take sexual pleasure from Women anyway ?

 

It is obvious to most folks that it is a deeply-ingrained cultural practice, but some will actually believe that there are politicians in Maine who think it's a good idea. Go figure.
Education is the solution.

 

Too sick, I care less who does it.
It needs to stop.
No more Female Genital Mutilation.

 

Votes are the only thing any politician is concerned with

 

They must really hate Women.

 

They love women's votes

 

What woman could vote for a man that supports Femal Genital Mutilation ???
