baby genital mutilation is astonishingly morally reprehensible.
And in societies where abortion is not only permitted but encouraged, it is even more morally reprehensible than it otherwise would be. On one hand, we have relentless clamoring for bodily autonomy for abortion...but where is this clamoring when it comes to protecting kids from having their sex organs sliced up for no real reason (other than culture, or "just because")? I mean, WTF? It's some kind of sick joke. You either have rights...or you don't. Simple as that.
I don't care a damn about religion or culture or cosmetic preferences, because those things don't eclipse basic human rights of children (or adults), and one of those basic human rights is bodily integrity. I mean, this shit cuts even deeper than women's rights as it applies to stuff like abortion. This goes even further into the skin, one would presume that a child's body is sacrosanct from any form of unwarranted torture but they'd be wrong. And they not only attack boys, but girls as well, and they would attack girls if it were legal! We've all heard our fair share of the plight of sufferers of FGM, and every claim is legitimate since cutting the genitals of ANY child, no matter what the reason, unless it's to treat a disease and the medical indication for surgery is appropriate, should be criminalized immediately. Banning the practice is imperative if we are to call ourselves civilized. Clearly we are far from it, and the fact that this outrageous behavior is still tolerate is testament to that fact. No one can even argue with this because it is just so patent.
Also I might add that I'm not going to get into an argument or play the Devil's Advocate about it with anyone on here, if anyone here wants to put up an argument please don't even bother because you will not get the courtesy of a reply.
To the point, someone on Twitter put up a post about how being opposed to infant circumcision was anti-Semitic. I responded with a post telling them that being pro-choice was anti-Catholic. The person who made the original post simply vanished. I guess some people don't like it when they shovel shit and it flies back in their face.
