Democratic Senate candidate Sara Gideon repeatedly killed bills to outlaw female genital mutilation during her tenure as the speaker of the Maine House of Representatives.

Gideon leveraged her leadership position in the Democrat-controlled legislature to kill two separate bills that would have criminalized the practice of severing the clitoris of infant girls and sewing their vaginas shut. Instead, the Democrat supported a different law that would have funnelled $150,000 to her political allies to educate Mainers about the practice instead of criminalizing it, according to a former state legislator who spearheaded the push to stop the mutilation.

Under Gideon's leadership, Maine Democrats argued that the bill was racist toward the state's large immigrant community from Somalia ...

This disgusting excuse for a female human is running against Sen. Susan Collins. What a -worthy choice!

This practice serves, NO PURPOSE.....for the woman.  TORTURE.  THIS IS A MUSLIM PRACTICE.   Is she muslim now?  How about we split her clitoris and sew her vagina shut?   DISGUSTING PRACTICE.

Both female and male genital mutilation is barbaric.  We have been practicing male genital mutilation since WWI, to reduce infection for trench warfare, but we have't had trench warfare for some time.

The failure of political leaders to protect our society from lunacy is well entrenched.  Look at what is going on in our streets.
