Words: 525 - Pages: 2.... say that will get them to change;
it would be like talking to a wall. They will only change when the people
themselves that live by these traditions get fed up with all the side-effects
caused by the practice of FGM. It is every person and community's right to
decide for themselves, without the intervention of outsiders, to decide to do
whatever they want to do to their bodies and minds.
I know, "these women that are being circumcised, aren't freely deciding
on this to be done to them, they don't know any better, they've been

glimse of light, that is 10 times the number of americans killed in all our
nation's wars. Make no mistake though, abortion on demand is not a right
granted by the constitution. Instead Roe vs. Wade had been a continuing
reminder to the conscience of this nation. The nation reflects today that

it can have on humans if it is not stopped.
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy is not some bac .....
