ATLANTA - Genital piercings for women were banned by the Georgia House Wednesday as lawmakers considered a bill outlining punishments for female genital mutilation.
The bill would make such mutilation punishable by two to 20 years in prison. It makes no exception for people who give consent to have the procedure performed on their daughters out of religious or cultural custom.
An amendment adopted without objection added "piercing" to the list of things that may not be done to female genitals. Even adult women would not be allowed to get the procedure. The bill eventually passed 160-0, with no debate.

What is sad is even Democrats voted for it. I guess because the republicans slipped the piercing in with genital mutilation.
I wonder if this is something NOW would get involved in.
Why do GA law makers care if a woman gets a piercing there?
