Re: Volunteer Right NOW! The MGM Bill is set for submission to US lawmakers Monday Jan. 7th!!!!!!!!
Thu, January 3, 2008 - 3:13 PMfrom a friend's post elsewhere on the subject:
Remember, this is about Equal Protection of the Laws.
The current laws protecting girls from circumcision make no exemption to cultural, cosmetic, hygienic, religion, or medically unnecessary reasons.
She also must wait to the age of 18 before undergoing the operation herself.
The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution states that everyone has the same protection under law and shall not be deprived of that equal protection.
It is clear that fully protecting girls from any form of genital cutting but not boys is unconstitutional. Intact genitals are the birth right of both genders, not just females. If a man decides on his own that he wants to undergo circumcision after being informed, then he is entitled to make that decision. There is a danger if boys are not allowed the same protection lawmakers and politicians may find the laws protecting girls from circumcision unconstitutional and allow parents to liberally circumcise their girls for any reason as well.
