Story highlights A woman posts a picture of her baby that she edited to include a dimple piercing

The image has sparked a discussion about piercings and circumcision in children

Vance, a strong advocate against piercing or circumcising children, posted the edited picture to Facebook, where it had more than 13,000 shares as of Thursday afternoon.
