The idea that this practiced needs to defended as "cultural" gets flushed right down the toilet. It's funny how a narrative gets worked not a culture, and then the predominent religion will pick it up.

Look at pro-lifers. Most of them would abhore this practice; yet have no problems putting a woman's life at risk.
