All right, Uganda, lol!

And may I say this practice is reason 1,556 why I am so glad I was born in America?  Wink

I agree, Kudos for Uganda. I can not imagine anything more barbaric than that practice. It isone of the few things that make me truly cringe when I hear it mentioned.

It's about time. I just hope the other countries, where it is legal, follow Uganda's lead and ban it as well.

Good news, for sure.

"Female circumcision" is about the stupidest euphemism I've ever heard, for a practice that is in no way analogous to male circumcision, other than involving a sharp instrument applied to the naughty bits. The male equivalent to this would be chopping the head off with a rusty kitchen knife.

It's a sobering thought that such practices are still going on in other parts of the world.

You forgot to mention how they stop the bleeding afterward: Cauterization. No, that's not a joke, that crap is F-ing brutal.
