UK Protects Female Infants Against Circumcision

This story on Excite News details new UK guidelines for doctors who are being told they must stop parents from having their female children circumcised. There is no mention of male circumcision anywhere in the story, although male circumcision is obviously more widespread (and, as obviously, more widely accepted). I've always found it interesting that women refer to female circumcision as "genital mutilation" and male circumcision as a "medical procedure."
