I would hope all the United States eventually outlaw this barbaric practice totally - how it could be linked to religion and worship demonstrates how primitive Islam is (if it can be termed a religion at all - I prefer to think of it as a cult).

Any doctor seeing a woman who has been so malformed after the fact should be obligated to report it as well - we must stop this in our country.

Because people desire it for their children (who have no say) I link it up there with child abuse, pedophilia and battering.

Lots of information on the web...here is one below. There is federal law restricting it and many states have also passed legislation against it. BUT...where there is a will there is way. I know people personally who send their kids back to get this done. The INS could care less.
