The AHA Foundation applauds Louisiana Governor Jindal for signing the bill that criminalizes female genital mutilation in Louisiana. We also applaud the sponsors of this legislation for taking our advice and amending the bill to include the AHA Foundation’s model language that also makes it a crime to remove a girl from the state for the purpose of FGM .
