This is silly.. it's easily remedied by a small change of wording to reflect the TRUE meaning of the bill:
They want to stop MINOR genital mutilation by religious parents, right? Prevent Ms. Jaueiaw from having her daughter's bits pierced or cut off? Then make clitoral or vaginal modification under 18 illegal, and solve the whole damn thing! Consenting adults can do whatever they want to with their body, while minors can't.. we have this with all sorts of other laws regarding age of consent, why not this?
