Maine Governor Paul LePage has vetoed a bill that would outlaw so-called “conversion therapy” aimed at changing the sexual orientation or gender identity of a minor, sending a blistering message to state legislators chiding them for not passing an unrelated bill that would have outlawed female genital mutilation.
LePage, a Republican, pointed out that supporters of the bill didn’t provide evidence that any licensed therapists in Maine are practicing conversion therapy, but he said Maine hospitals see cases of botched genital mutilations “gone horribly wrong.”
“Legislators who could not stand up and outlaw the permanent mutilation of young girls’ sexual organs by laypersons in unsanitary conditions with razor blades now are concerned with outlawing conversations, of which there is also ‘no evidence’ that it is happening in Maine,” LePage said in his veto message. “This is a disgusting double-standard.”

Liberals look at female genital mutilation as a "cultural thing" and leave it alone. Same goes for Sharia Law. It's all good in Liberal Land.
Salute to the governor! Priorities in place in both parts of his actions.
If FGM was given a DRG code, Planned Parenthood would gladly do the deed. Bonus, once done sexual congress would be much less fun so there would possibly be fewer pregnancies to terminate. Downside, with fewer aborted fetuses revenue from parts sales would be reduced.
Any way we can castrate most of the people who who come to this site. Feal like that could help make America great again.
