Push to let Australian doctors mutilate genitals of baby girls

This of course has been happening all over the Western world where Muslims have migrated with sufficient numbers to change the ‘it’s a crime’ to, ‘this is our cultural right’ ratios.

  • Genitals would be cut in clinical setting
  • Attempt to stop backstreet mutilations
  • Practice common among African immigrants

AUSTRALIAN doctors are considering a controversial form of genital mutilation on baby girls.

The practice involving cutting a girl’s genitals, sometimes with razors or pieces of glass, could be allowed in a clinical setting to stem illegal backyard procedures which are leaving young girls scarred for life.

The Royal Australian New Zealand College of Obstetricians will next month discuss backing “ritual nicks”, a modified form of genital mutilation.

But experts are divided on whether to allow the practice, given that in some cultures it is used to remove the sexual feelings of women.

Female genital mutilation has been outlawed in Australia since the 1990s but is common among African, Asian and Middle Eastern communities.

With the rise in Somali and Sudanese numbers in Australia, doctors are seeing more cases of young girls, and women, needing surgery after illegal operations. Backers of “ritual nick” said it was a superficial procedure leaving no long-term damage.

RANZCOG secretary Gino Pecoraro said the policy would be discussed at next month’s Women’s Health Committee meeting.

“We will need to start to think about [its introduction] but we would have to speak to community leaders from Australia,” Dr Pecoraro said.

“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.

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

But many are outraged, some saying a “ritual nick” is still child abuse and legitimises female mutilation.

University of Newcastle’s professor of perinatal and infant psychiatry Dr Louise Newman said some doctors were being approached to perform the procedure.

“We know it is happening here . . . but [the] majority are done in the home in a traditional way,” she said.

Reasons given by practising populations include religion, despite the Koran not requiring it, and that it can help maintain cleanliness and health.

“The problem is some people see it similar to male circumcision but the reasons for both are very different as well as the impact,” Dr Newman said.

“The actual procedure can be pretty devastating.”

  1. Didn’t I say the other day, following NSW’s legislators refusal to ban the burqa and the niqab, plus that compensation for “hurt mahoundian feelings” because a bunch of burkini-wearing mobile tents weren’t allowed into a water park, that Australia is shaping up to become the next UK, in the United-Kingdom-of-West-Porkistan sense of the word?

    I ain’t no prophet, but the signs of that little prophecy from a couple of days ago are becoming more and more numerous, aren’t they?

  2. I was just thinking that, instead of FGM, Western countries could actually start talking about mahoundian MALE genital mutilation… That kind that the Yellow Bastard character in the graphic novel series Sin City goes through twice. Not only could that make mahoundians think twice about the barbaric practices they subject the born-without-a-penis members of their ilk, but it would significantly, if not completely, eliminate another extreme problem created in the West by mahoundian mass-immigration.

  3. Oops, I meant to write the barbaric practices they subject the born-without-a-penis members of their ilk to

    Female Genital Mutitilation NOT Coming To A Pediatrician Near You

    Pediatricians now reject all female genital cutting

    (CNN) — The American Academy of Pediatrics has rescinded a controversial policy statement raising the idea that doctors in some communities should be able to substitute demands for female genital cutting with a harmless clitoral “pricking” procedure.

    “We retracted the policy because it is important that the world health community understands the AAP is totally opposed to all forms of female genital cutting, both here in the U.S. and anywhere else in the world,” said AAP President Judith S. Palfrey.

    The contentious policy statement, issued in April, had condemned the practice of female genital cutting overall. But a small portion of statement suggesting the pricking procedure riled U.S. advocacy groups and survivors of female genital cutting

    In the April statement, the group raised the idea that some physicians should be able to prick or nick a girl’s clitoral skin in order to “satisfy cultural requirements.” The group likened the nick to an ear piercing.

    On Thursday the AAP stated the group will not condone doctors to provide any kind of “clitoral nick.” The AAP also clarified nicking a girl or woman’s genitals is forbidden under a 1996 federal law banning female genital mutilation.

    Thanks to all who signed the petition and helped in other ways to get the word out.
