Judge Says Federal Law Against Female Genital Mutilation Violates U.S. Constitution

The Federal government should protect the inherent right of individuals to control what is done with/to their own bodies.  Including children who should not be forced into something that will affect the rest of their lives.  That goes beyond which government entity has jurisdiction over crimes.  The remaining 26 states who have not yet criminalized this disgusting practice need to do so NOW. 

It is estimated that more than 200 million girls and women alive today have undergone female genital mutilation in the countries where the practice is concentrated.  There are an estimated 3 million girls at risk of undergoing female genital mutilation every year.  We should not be part of this.
