It is, however, morally equivalent: You do not have the right to hack off parts of my body.
Sheesh, by this logic cutting someone's fingernails and cutting someone's arm off are "morally equivalent".
You're completely ignoring gradations of impact here. I disagree with circumcision, but to actually say that it's the "moral equivalent" of cutting off the clitoris and sewing up the vagina, (and removing labia minora, etc.) is patently absurd and indefensible.
And yes, I know that all FGM isn't infibulation. You keep reminding people of this, then claim the distinction is irrelevant...Do you mean your words to apply to infibulation or not?
