Dammit people, I'll say this again:
READ THE ARTICLES BEFORE YOU SPOUT YOUR RETARDED OPINIONS AND EDITORIALS.
If you'd read any of it, you'd know it was something that got tacked onto a female genital mutilation bill. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. I'll repeat that a few times so you get it. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING. THE LAW WAS NOT MADE SPECIFICALLY TO STOP PIERCING.
You get it now? The female genital mutilation the law was made to stop is where they CHOP OFF THE CLITORIS OF A YOUNG WOMAN WITHOUT ANESTHETIC to promote chastity. There's a good reason why that's illegal. The piercing thing slipped through because the people voting on the bill didn't understand what the piercing part meant.
And furthermore, when they realized what they'd done, when they realized that there are people who willingly go and have piercings for decoration, they called back the bill for review before even sending it to the governor. Most likely, the piercing part will be stricken from the bill and it'll be passed again, WITHOUT the piercing being outlawed.
YOU FUCKING MORONS.
It hasn't even been outlawed since the bill wasn't signed by the governor, it didn't even make it to the governor, in fact. The law wasn't created because the guy had "never heard of such a thing" as vaginal piercings, and decided to make a law agianst it, the law was made to stop actual damaging mutilations happening. It's a good law, there's just a stupid thing tacked onto it somewhere in the process, and once they realized it, they called the bill back for review, and it wasn't actually a law yet. Genital piercings are still legal, and they most likely will remain legal once the modified bill is passed into law.
My point is, read the article and gather information on what the issue is, and more importantly, HOW YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S LEGISLATIVE SYSTEM WORKS before you become outraged.
Fucking apes.
