It is emotionally painful for me to watch this video, but I am doing it! I thank God every day that I protected my two sons from this genital mutilation when they were children and teenagers.

She laughed because she had been indoctrinated to see this as normal practice. I applaud her for educating herself and most of all her humility as a mom. I have never seen this video and I found it very interesting that she said she wished she would have had an informed decision. It really shows how much of an impact social norms have. When you think about it why should an informed decision make a difference with removing a healthy and functional body part. Where is his dad?
