Thanks for bringing up this topic, Casey. Educating women about what is "normal" and what practices, under the name of religion, are "normal and expected" seems to be the only way to bring this practice to a stop.

The woman's comment about pain and suffering being part of being a woman is frightening. That a woman should suffer so horrifically and then bring her own daughter to the same sort of pain and mutilation is such a foreign idea to me. But unless they know differently, what can we expect?
