Australians need to get outraged over Female Genital Mutilation legalization! Female Genital Mutilation can kill women and their babies!!

Australian doctors may soon perform genital mutilations on baby girls in a bid to curb a dangerous rise in backyard surgeries, according to a report.

The Royal Australian New Zealand College of Obstetricians is considering allowing doctors to carry out “ritual nicks” on baby girls whose families may otherwise turn to illegal operations, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The practice, though illegal, is widespread among African, Asian and Middle Eastern communities.

Doctors are reportedly seeing increasing cases of girls who require surgery after botched operations, which are often performed in domestic situations with razors or pieces of glass.

RANZCOG spokeswoman Gino Pecoraro told the newspaper that any decision would require widespread consultation.

“If a nick could meet the cultural needs of a particular woman, then it might save her from going through what can really be drastic surgery,” she said.

“But we need to make sure we do not legitimise the ritualistic maiming of children.”

  2. The one word missing from this article is ISLAM.

    MUSLIM males are sooo insecure and afraid that Muslim women will enjoy intercourse, they revert to this barbaric practice.

    Muslim males (can’t call them men) are pathetic losers in every way.

  3. Surely this is out of date “news”. This topic was superceded by a statement from RANZOG 2 weeks ago, saying there was no intention to consider this “medicalisation” of female genital cutting. I hope they have not rescinded their statement.
