If you want to get your genitals pierced.
It could cost you twenty years in prison.
Of course if you want a stud in your cooter, you could just come to Texas, I'll do it for free.

Fuck me.
That is proof positive they have TOO MUCH TIME ON THEIR HANDS.
Although I support a ban on genital mutilation, peircing being banned?

The mutilation part I can understand. Adding piercing to the bill was an afterthought and is just plain ignorant.
I saw in an intereview that one of the senators that voted for the bill was surprised that women would do it intentionally.
Talk about out of touch with reality.

i support a ban on any body mods under the age of 18, but after that i think one should have the right, mutilation or not.
what a crock of xit.

Obviously.
Those people give rednecks a bad name.

Well, this is the same state that wants the word evolution replaced with biological changes over time.
This typifies conditions which result in the screwed up laws we already have in place.
"Gee I don't know what that means or why someone would want it, but I'll vote against it anyway just because it sounds weird to me. Obviously it must be bad."

While adults should pretty much be able to do as they please, the following story may help explain the law.
2 Year Old Girl Mutilated

It took the mother 16 months to come forward to the police?
It is already illegal, so why add another law? Because they can.

Truth is, I really don't care much about the law and it probably wouldn't do much to stop this kind of thing. I just think that what happened to the poor kid is too sick for words.
um, but it doesn't explain how they tacked on the rider which included banning consentual adult piercing.
that's like banning ear piercing because a father cut his daughter's ear off.
not only is it completely ignorant, but it's HUGELY sexist as well. they have stated that they would not ban adult male consentual piercing and they haven't banned MALE circumcision. (although THAT could be construed as a barbaric act of child abuse as well)
fucking hypocritical ignorant assholes.

Like I said, I'm not supporting the law (which was probably unrelated the incident anyway), just venting about what happened to the kid. If adults want to get pierced, go right ahead. Just make sure to put some pics on the net. As far male circumcision, its hardly the same thing. It doesn't leave you a sexual cripple.
When I got circumcised, it was about the
last time anyone else touched it.
last time anyone else touched it.
um, did you forget you have two hands?
"anyone else"
that could be read as anyone else but the doctor.

Fortunate Adem vigorously denied her ex-husbands claims and said she believes he is trying to pass blame to avoid punishment in an interview Wednesday with The Associated Press.
These people need an editor.
That, or the Associated Press has gotten into
Circumcision is gross!!! 
dang, and here I was gonna bring my pinking shears and circumcise you in Seattle . . . 
Funny!
not
not
Just the word "pinking shears" is funny, therefore it was at least a little funny.
Not when What's His Fuck sez it.
i belong to a body mod community based on BME.com
many people in this world manipulate their bodies in ways that most other people at one time found "disgusting", "stupid" or "wrong". judging these people by your own religious or social ideals is wrong.
i've tried to read a bit on this topic and find intelligent arguments to present a different point of view for you all.
here is a snippet about a different case in where a body mod artist was a victim of entrapment, but i just wanted to present some information that it seems is missed by most of you...the words "female circumcision" do not necessarily mean what you think they do. and people are judging others when they are COMPLETELY ignorant on this matter.
To be clear let’s put the procedure in question into context: female circumcision. FGM. Female genital mutilation. It sounds terrible, doesn’t it — but it’s a loaded term chosen by activists (male circumcision is known as MGM, or “male genital mutilation”). The procedure we’re talking about isn’t an infibulation or a clitorectomy — it’s a circumcision (“to cut around”). The purpose of the procedure is to reshape the labia into a more pleasing form and to reduce or split the hood in order to make the clitoris more exposed. The procedure is designed to be a positive and enhancing one, not something oppressive or abusive.
The Hypocrisy
Proponents of female circumcision in the West (it’s a popular elective surgery) will tell you that it enhances the appearance of the genitals, as well as making sex more physically pleasurable. Proponents in Africa and the Middle East will tell you that, on top of its cultural and religious importance, it maintains cleanliness, prevents disease and cancers, keeps a couple together by making the man able to sexually satisfy the woman, and otherwise protects the woman who receives it. Some regions even have circumcision methods designed to make intercourse more physically pleasurable — in countries that it’s done in, it’s the women who have had the procedure that are usually the strongest proponents of continuing the practice.
Now don’t get me wrong — in spite of all these wonderful things about it, I believe it’s fundamentally wrong to force this on a child who can’t decide for themselves, let alone to allow an unqualified practitioner to do it. But we have to take an objective look at this in light of procedures that we do allow.
While most Western countries have phased out the procedure as barbaric, and the AMA has decried it as pointless and dangerous mutilation, in America, the genitals of young boys are still routinely partially amputated. The foreskin, one of the most nerve-heavy parts of the male genitals (and containing glands essential to genital health), is cut off, usually without anesthesia. Significant complications arise annually and numerous men permanently lose sexual function from this procedure. While it is most commonly done by a doctor, non-medical practitioners are also permitted to perform the procedure in private home ceremonies. No health benefits have ever been conclusively shown for this procedure, and the original justification for performing it was to reduce masturbation by “associating pain with the penis”.
So, with boys, we allow non-medical practitioners to cut off part of their genitals for dubious reasons, but with women we don’t. The fact is that we can’t have it both ways. Either make male genital mutilation illegal, or allow it for both genders.
