Judge in Detroit dropped charges against doctors who illegally practiced female genital mutilation, and even determined female genital mutilation to be constitutional. "The defendants are all members of a small Indian Muslim sect known as the Dawoodi Bohra, which has a mosque in Farmington Hills. The sect practices female circumcision and believes it is a religious rite of passage that involves only a minor 'nick.'"

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That sickens me. I don't know where one would draw the line, if inflicting a life altering cruel and barbaric mutilation of a baby's genitalia isn't that line what will be next, plucking the eyes out of children born with blue eyes? Killing every third born child as a sacrifice to God? If God we're real and he commanded me to take from my child her ability to experience pleasure sexually because it pleases him, I would say Fuck You!

They will go to prison on conspiracy charges at the state level so some justice will be dealt. As well, Michigan has state laws that were enacted after this was already in the courts that are even stricter. Unfortunately, it was not made retroactive.This is a state by state statue . Only a few states still allow this to happen. Do you feel the same way about circumcision on males?
It must have been an Obama judge.

actually, he was nominated by Ronald Reagan
@thinktwice Well I guess even Reagan made a few mistakes but not nearly as many as that idiot Obama. In any event I hope that judge is overridden.
@Trajan61 Of course...all politicians make mistakes...I was just providing factual information to the poster who automatically went to the negative...I believe that there is no recourse to be overridden ...by whom? He followed the law, as flawed as we think it was...can't go retroactive, so they will be tried for conspiracy instead.
