******* mutilation of two-week-old baby

[mellowyellow]

Two women who allegedly approached a doctor seeking a circumcision of a two-week-old baby girl in Western Australia have been charged by police. The circumcision was allegedly planned as part of cultural beliefs.

Procedures that remove part or all of the external female *******ia or cause injury to female ******* organs for non-medical reasons are illegal across Australia. Police say the doctor refused the women's request and reported them. The two women, aged 23 and 50, are due to face court in Armadale.

Their punishment should be to be circumcised while in prison.

Sadly the 2 women probably already have had this abomination done to them
Female ******* Mutilation is banned in all states and territories in Australia

If it's their culture, they already will be.

Circumcision ought to be illegal for both boys and girls. Last year one guy was charged for performing circumcisions on 9 boys with a sodering pistol! I cannot even imagine how much pain that must have been:

I won't say here what should be done to him!

Circumcision has been practiced by the Jewish for hundreds of years.

There is a difference between circumcision on males, and on females.

In what way?

In what way?

The *******s of males and females are different -- go ahead and read up on it.

I am aware of that. My question is whether or not you feel there is a moral difference between the two. That is to say if you feel one is OK and the other not.

Back in the 60's and 70's, circumcision (boys) was the norm here in Canada. My baby brother was circumcised, as were my own boys who were born in the 80's and early 90's.

In the early 70's when my baby brother was born, circumcision was touted as being healthier and cleaner (less complications in the future), and from what I remember was automatic unless it was made clear by the parents that no circumcision be done.

Having done a lot of babysitting when I was growing up, baby boys who weren't circumcised required extra attention at bath-time and diaper change time to avoid infections, irritation, etc.

People in the world are getting crazier and sicker every day.

No. You're just hearing about it all. In the '50's we kept things secret, now it's open for you to see.

Or maybe they are just as sick as they've always been but science and humanitarian concerns have highlighted lingering superstitions making centuries of crazy and sickness more transparent.

What modern day medicine and modern day claims suggest, played no role in how I was taught back in the day.

When I was growing up I was taught the way I was, for the reasons I was.

I know that.

If you knew that, then your reference to post #10 in your entry numbered 16, wasn't necessary, was it?

You're not making sense. What are you talking about?

That is so true and these problems continued if they were brought up and not taught how to take care of themselves. I had a couple of 7 and 8 years old that were sad cases and had painful infections

Yes a huge difference!
