Any lawmaker with a shred of conscience and an ounce of human compassion will see the unfair, unequal application of the law as enacted by the U.S. Female Genital Mutilation Act of 1996. Our lawmakers should not need reminding that the 14th amendment to the U. S. Constitution guarantees equal protection of the law to all, regardless of religion or ethnicity. Their oath of office most emphatically does NOT give them the right to exclude a portion of the population from any provision of our laws, whether the laws be proposed or already fact. If we as a people are to preserve the moral and legal sanctity of our constitution and our form of democratic government, we must not continue allowing the LAW to be set aside and exclude one half of the newborns in this country simply because they are of the male gender, or because of an ancient custom of desert tribes who wished to set themselves apart, as a unique religious sect, from the rest of mankind by mutilating the genitals of their newborn sons. This barbaric, brutal religious ritual is demanded by the Jewish religion, and also by the even more numerous Muslim religion for both its young females and males, but our "wise" lawmakers judiciously acted to nullify the non-consensual practice with respect to minor age girls. Why were males overlooked in the scope and fairness of this rightful intercession by our "impartial" lawmakers? By what turn of logic or reasoning, other than cultural and religious bias by our lawmakers, was the male gender denied access to this legal affirmation of infant human rights and bodily integrity?<br /><br />I vow to contact every Federal Representative and Senator from the state of Texas, to urge their support for the MGM bill as it is once again introduced for deliberation in the hallowed halls of the U. S. Congress. In doing so, I will make use of the many excellent legal arguments in this website, as well as other equally just and right and proper arguments put forth by concerned citizens. I beg others who share similar sentiments to likewise join with me in supporting this worthy cause by contacting their elected government officials. We should, all of us, do no less in this fight for infant male genital integrity. Stop this brutal, senseless, shameless, barbaric practice at once and help bring down the extremely lucrative health products and cosmetics industry built upon the savagely severed foreskins of American baby boys. Join with me in telling Oprah and Barbara Walters and their gushing female guests that they will soon have to find another source for their anti-ageing creams. Do it for the baby boys, if for no other reason. Spare them the cruel, inhumane amputation of irreplaceable flesh and also spare them from the horrendous pain involved.<br /><br />Cimarroncimarronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454374910328536860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-68927565228887986772011-09-17T22:30:36.636-07:002011-09-17T22:30:36.636-07:00I conquer, very astute.
