MAKES ME PROUD TO BE A DEMOCRAT

From: freebeacon.com 8/14/20
Maine Democrat Sara Gideon Killed Bills Outlawing Female Genital Mutilation
Maine Dems argued legislation was racist

"Gideon leveraged her leadership position in the Democrat-controlled legislature to kill two separate bills that would have criminalized the practice of severing the clitoris of infant girls and sewing their vaginas shut. Instead, the Democrat supported a different law that would have funnelled $150,000 to her political allies to educate Mainers about the practice instead of criminalizing it, according to a former state legislator who spearheaded the push to stop the mutilation.
Under Gideon's leadership, Maine Democrats argued that the bill was racist toward the state's large immigrant community from Somalia, a country where the practice is "nearly universal" according to the United Nations. The Democrats also argued that the practice rarely takes place in Maine and is already outlawed by existing federal and local laws."

Well, perhaps sewing the vagina shut will lower the number of abortions. (sarcasm).

I am NOT.in any way, OK with this....the problem is like UTAH...it is legitimized for men to have
more than one wife and the custom is ACCEPTED by that state....the practice can lead to abuse of
minors or women in general....UTAH does not see it that way.

I know poly marriages tend to be a bad thing, but as a libertarian, I think they should be legal as long as as all the members are consenting adults.

FGM? I am very much against this, but it is a difficult issue. I normally support parent's rights to raise their children the way they want to, but I don't like parents who ruin the sexual lives of their adult children. So in this way, I am also against male circumcision. If the adult child agrees to it, they should be allowed, but this is too important to leave up to the parents.

I thought about this for some time.
The highest rates and numbers of abortions are in the black population of the U.S. Female Genital Mutilation is "Under Gideon's leadership, Maine Democrats argued that the bill was racist toward the state's large immigrant community from Somalia, a country where the practice is "nearly universal" according to the United Nations." Again freebeacon.com 8/14/20.
The last time I checked Somalia was overwhelming black.

Are the democrats sending a message in supporting these policies?

Another example of something that gives me pride in being a democrat

BOLDED...that is all U need to know.....serious hard right source

Regardless of the source, it happened. You can ignore it because that is what your overlords want you to do though. Orwell nailed it.

Ever hear of gentrification ?;

Homeagain,
Breitbart.com is a conservative news service, no doubt. But I believe you dismiss it because Andrew Breitbart was an orthodox Jew. ( I do not know about the qualifier "modern" to orthodox Jew).
That seems to be important to you.
if you bothered to read the article, you would have found that "the19th.com" is the reference which is mentioned in the article re: Harris. (the19th.com has Megan Markle on one of their panels, hardly rightwing).
The other portion, re "black ....Houses" is from the nypost.com 8/14.
Perhaps you should read the article and not let your racist views preclude gathering information.

Does that mean that you deny it happened?
