Female genital cutting, recent edit.
Hello. In [this edit], you removed "*prevention of stillbirths in women pregnant for the first time" from the list of cited reasons for performing FGC. Could you elaborate on the reason behind this removal? Is the claim not made by the source?

Also, you deleted a paragraph, beginning, In the United States, as recently as 1938, FGC was advocated by some Christian evangelists..., and sourced from Lowry, Reverand Oscar. A Virtuous Woman: Sex Life in Relation to the Christian Life. Zondervan Publishing House, 1815 Franklin Street, Grand Rapids, Michigan; November, 1938. Again, could you elaborate on the reason behind this removal?

Finally, it's good practice to write at least a brief edit summary when making article edits. Also, only very inconsequential edits extremely unlikely to be disputed (such as fixing typos or punctuation) should be flagged as minor edits; not any edits that significantly change content.

In case you aren't aware, you can respond by editing this talk page (I'll have it on my watchlist for at least several days), or my talk page, and placing your comments at the bottom (don't forget to sign your posts with four tildes like this: ~ .
