Activist Federal Judge Orders Female Genital Mutilation Charges Against Muslim Doctor Dropped
This is one of the most appalling decisions to be issued by an American court since the Dred Scott decision. If the law that’s being used to prosecute her is unconstitutional, then is it even possible to criminalize FGM in the United States? This far-left, activist judge apparently has no concern whatsoever for the girls who are going to suffer intense pain and have their lives destroyed because of his ruling.
The number of women and girls at risk for female genital mutilation (FGM) in the United States has more than doubled in the past 10 years.
More than half a million women and girls in the U.S. are at risk of undergoing FGM in the U.S. or abroad, or have already undergone the procedure, including 166,173 under the age of 18, according to the Population Reference Bureau (PRB).
This judge should be impeached and removed from the bench.
