{Planetary Emergence Project} URGENT: Our baby girls are at risk!

[Edward Stamas]

Last week, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) issued a new policy statement proposing changes to the Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Act, a law that has protected America’s girls from any form of genital cutting since 1996.

But now the AAP wants to change the law to allow a “ritual nick” of girls’ genitals, so families whose cultures accept FGM don't send their daughters overseas for the full genital cutting procedure.

We can’t afford to allow our leaders to destroy the progress we’ve made in outlawing genital mutilation for our baby girls. We must act quickly.

Will you join me in sending a message demanding that the AAP revoke its policy statement today? Click the link below:

For years, we’ve been focused on preventing male circumcision because we believed the horror of female genital mutilation had been outlawed forever in the United States.

But now those protections are at risk.

We must do EVERYTHING in our power to stop the AAP from sanctioning the cutting of our baby girls.

Please click below to urge the AAP to revoke its policy statement immediately.

It is us up to us to make sure the members of the AAP’s Committee on Bioethics get the message that any form of genital cutting, whether male of female, is unnecessary, harmful, and ethically wrong.

You can also go one step further by forwarding this email to your friends and family and sharing this action on Facebook and Twitter.

Thanks for your help!
