Hi Scarlet. I respect your opinion, but am afraid I'm still with Carla on this one. But I agree that sometimes circumcision is medically necessary, as is genital surgery for a woman i.e. if she has enlarged labia, hymen or clitoral hood, that either causes soreness, infections, discomfort or difficulty in sexual intercourse.

It's high time someone told it like it is about FEMALES' genital problems that can be "cured" by surgery!

Hey, when a baby girl is born, you can't tell if she might ultimately develop the problems that Demi has listed above. These problems would probably not show up till adolesence, so, Russ, why not do genital reduction surgery on all baby girls?

If it's going to be done, it must be done shortly after birth, same as baby boys getting circumcised, because that way they don't remember it. Can you imagine a 13- or 14-year old girl, or older woman, having to go thru such sexual surgery? The trauma! Not to mention the horrible anticipation of the surgery! With reduction of the female's genitalia done shortly after birth, these problems are avoided completely!


Animals feel pain & suffering just as we do, and they value their lives as much as we value ours.
