Georgia House bans genital piercings for women

The Associated Press - 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.

Amendment sponsor Rep. Bill Heath, R-Bremen, was slack-jawed when told
after the vote that some adults seek the piercings.

"What? I've never seen such a thing," Heath said. "I, uh, I
wouldn't approve of anyone doing it. I don't think that's an appropriate
thing to be doing."

The ban applies only to women, not men. The bill has already been approved
by the Senate but now must return to that chamber because of the piercing
amendment. Both chambers of the Legislature must agree on a single version
of a bill before it can go to the governor for final approval.
