Lets examine, Sixty days to be purified from her bleeding Leviticus 12:5 New International Version If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.......... Possible certainly not conclusive! The reason why the duration of the mothers uncleanness is twice as long at a girls birth as at a boys, would appear to be that the uncleanness attached to the child as well as to the mother, but as the boy was placed in a state of ceremonial purity at once by the act of circumcision, which took place on the eighth day, he thereupon ceased to be unclean...... And the mothers uncleanness alone remained... God did not command a woman to be circumcised...Lets examine possible ( reasons ) Healing from typical male circumcision, especially a newborn circumcision, can take just a few days to a week or so... In contrast, a typical female circumcision, even on a newborn, can take ( months ) to heal, and often the damage from the circumcision never really heals, leaving many women with numerous medical problems that can last a lifetime. Especially after an infibulation, and because a female circumciser often uses instruments and techniques that result in jagged cuts, a female can experience serious urinary problems, including more frequent urinary tract infections that lead to kidney infections and kidney failure. This is in stark contrast to circumcised males, who will experience far fewer urinary tract infections!...The irony here is that circumcision protects men but puts women at great risk of urinary tract infections and they are already at great risk of them. One of the keys to avoiding infection, of course, is excellent genital hygiene.) Infibulated females omen are also at much greater risk of prolonged labor during childbirth, a risk that can lead to fetal brain damage, as well as fetal or maternal death. Infibulation can even cause sterility; in one study, it was estimated that 1/4th to 1/5th of all cases of female sterility, in Sudan, were linked to infibulation...This maybe one of the reasons God did not command, circumcision for a woman...The ending results in the case of a girl, both mother and child were unclean during the period that the former was in the blood of her purifying, and therefore that period had to be doubly long!
