This study shows clear harm to women through this practice - threatening their lives. Slavery was a cultural practice too, but it was the right thing to do to oppose it in all cultures, whether ours or others. FGM does not achieve anything. It is purely a form of control over women, which inflicts pain.
Guess what? People here on DU oppose shooting Iraqis too. You should take a look at the threads about Iraq. They don't support the killing. Trying to divert this discussion onto Iraq is pointless.
