22. Male and Female Genital Mutilation needs to be banned and criminally prosecutable.

I support The Girls Protection Act, but I think it's far time that people started stepping forward and saying mutilating the bodies of children - regardless of the reason - is not acceptable. If adults want to mutilate their bodies, more power to them. Children don't have a choice.

That's really what this is about in the end, choice. Another human being, even a parent, doesn't have the right to physically alter the body of their child as if that body were somehow their own.
