If you don't tell her the truth, and she honestly doesn't know all the issues surrounding circ, it would be a huge disservice to her and her children.
I don't know the dynamics of your relationship, but I would come out with, "Can you take a look at some of this info I recently found out?" Or even watch that episode of Penn & Teller as an icebreaker...
But I feel it's my duty as a human being to try my damnedest to get circ to stop. Even if it is just one person at a time.
Have you read the Regret stickie at the top of the forum? That might give you some good jumping off points.
Good luck. Just be honest, open, and caring. When you know better, you do better.
