Shouldn’t Michelle Obama be fighting this? AAP endorses Female genital mutilation.

Both leftie Daily Kos and Mark Steyn in the National Review online agree that the American Academy of Pediatrics endorsement of female genital mutilation is obscene…Steyn: …”Last week, the American Association of Pediatricians noted that certain, ahem, “immigrant communities” were shipping their daughters overseas to undergo “female genital mutilation.” So, in a spirit of multicultural compromise, they decided to amend their previous opposition to the practice: They’re not (for the moment) advocating full-scale clitoridectomies, but they are suggesting federal and state laws be changed to permit them to give a “ritual nick” to young girls.”

It’s the IDEA, stupid AAP, that’s disgusting and immoral.

Isn’t this something the Michelle Obama should be fighting? Or has the administration’s refusal to criticize Moslem societies extend to endorsing FMG?
