Leftists created the term "Female genital mutilation" in an attempt to further their war on women.[2] The medical procedure is usually carried out when the girl is young or adolescent, when the procedure can be administered with little pain. It is not known to cause any long-term negative health effects but it is known for lowering the risk of contracting HIV by almost 30%.[3]
