Apparently in Michigan in 2017, it became double illegal which is what I recommend as the federal law apparently is too vague
Here's the law, that applies in all 50 states, what section is too vague?

Adults shouldn't be allowed to modify their own bodies?



Again, what part is too vague?
Not modify, but mutilate. this is not getting a tattoo these are kids, only 19, 20, 24. Still under their fathers house. Daddy still pays for tuition and their roof, so if they are extreme Islamic family and daddy tells his 22 year old to mutilate, they will. so the laws should outlaw all age from doing this procedure without a medical reason. now that is the second and last time I will adress your posts. now please answer my question. what purpose did the Michigan law have in your opinion (I already gave my opinion). if I don't feel you are trying to dialogue, I will block you for trolling.

Any other restrictions you want placed on how adults treat their own bodies?

now please answer my question. what purpose did the Michigan law have in your opinion

Likely for the same reason states ban shariah law, it plays well to their constituency even though it's redundant at best.

stiffer penalties. Again I said it was vague. but now it seems it was weak.

bills stiffen the penalties for offenders while providing additional support to victims"

Michigan governor signs laws banning female genital mutilation

part of the stiffer penalties go to the parents to drive the kids to the doctor to get the procedure done. They may also be charged with up to a 15 year sentence, and doctors licence to be revoked if they are caught doing so. This is what I mean by lobby your cause in your particular state. Apparently the michigan case was still performing surgeries even though it was illegal, they will only get 5 years if convicted. Now it's triple.

Per count, tragically there were many counts.

How does that work?
Without stearing the thread off topic, quickly evolution is not scientific because it lacks observation of macro evolution. observation is needed to test hypothesis. it cannot be science because of missing links. if it cannot be science it should not be legalized to teach as it becomes faith based not fact based.

Ok, adult woman can't modify their genitalia (are piercings still ok?), male on male sex is out, abortion and most hormonal contraceptives are out, biology is illegal, anything else?

biology is a hard science, evolution is not science. See the difference? But that is off topic. But I see what you are doing you are trying to poison the well. But I personally don't care. But I figured I would tell you what fallacy you are currently pushing.

Put down the fallacy bingo card. I'm just curious how widespread your authoritarianism is.

The UK is slowly moving to protect all minors from genital mutilation.

That includes all men and women. And so there is some resistance from many cultures and religions, especially Islam and Judaism.

But any adult can decide to opt for FGM or MGM or even emasculation if they need, and Jesus absolutely supported anybody's right to such decisions.

Matthew {5:30} And if thy right hand offend

thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
