* While FGM is most common in Africa, the Middle East and Asia—where a jaw dropping 200 million girls and women have undergone the procedure—young women around the globe are at risk.
* According to 2012 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 513,000 ([link removed]) women and girls in the U.S. have experienced or are at risk of mutilation.

** AOC: Abolish Prisons ([link removed])
------------------------------------------------------------
The major fault is that Ocasio-Cortez seems to not understand that, while there are miscarriages of justice, the reason people are put in prisons is that they have done something wrong ([link removed]) . Abolishing prisons would release lawbreakers, many of whom are violent, who have not paid their debt to society back into society.
