This law disturbs me on two levels. Although I'm conservative and feel such piercings aren't for ME, if other women want them, it's their choice and it seems ludicrous that a law could prevent it. I can't see it being upheld in the Supreme Court challenges that it is bound to face. STOP TELLING US WHAT TO DO WITH OUR BODIES!! This law could be worded to exclude piercings if they chose to.

On the second level.. why only women? If you're going to outlaw genital piercing, then do it for everybody. Why are women targeted? Aren't their cultural rituals that involve men's genitals too? (I'm fairly certain I've read of them).
I think it has to do with the actual place of piercing since women's genital piercing is much closer to FGM than guys' piercings are to circumsicion. In any case, I've heard some people call (male)circumsicion "cruel" as well.
