To the ~33% people who have downvoted this: you’re literally arguing against a person’s right not to have their body receive unnecessary surgical manipulations until they’re old enough to actually consent to it. Babies are not their parents’ property. Let people decide when they’re adults.
Do you think that anyone born with a cleft palate, cleft lip, hemangiomas, craniosynostosis, facial palsy, or any corrective jaw surgeries should be told to wait until 18 when all of these procedures are far less effective and far more difficult to do?
None of those are comparable to genital mutilation based on physical appearance. All those other things directly impact a person’s quality of life.
Unfortunately a lot of Americans believe children are the property of their parents. We need a children’s bill of rights.
