OH:Maine Democrat Sara Gideon Killed Bills Outlawing Female Genital Mutilation. “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 funneled $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.”

It’s always about the payouts, and never about protecting the kids.
