Is female circumcision still common? I don't know whether to circumcise my baby girl. I know that it is just a nick (much less invasive than male circumcision) instead of the drastic examples outside of SG.

Female circumcision is not common anymore and it is being banned in certain countries for causing uneccessary pain and trauma to the child. Later in life, it can cause genital disfigurement and anomalies, which does not only cause physical pain but also psychological and emotional trauma.
