San Francisco circumcision ban struck from ballot

well, me personally being circumsized, i can say theres nothing wrong with my equipment and accessories. It doesnt affect anything. Female circumcision, however, lobs off the clitoris, and THAT is mutilation and is rightfully banned.

Both are mutilation in my book, just one is worse than the other.

I didn't know that freedom of religion allows you to mutilate your child's body without his consent.

As if you really know something about it.

What I do know is that you do not own your children, and that the only body that you own is your own.

Forcing an unnecessary permanent change in your child's body even though he has not consented and cannot consent is pretty obviously wrong whether religiously motivated, or not.

Indeed, if circumcision is protected by the First Amendment, then a whole slew of procedures would also be protected, like tatooing, piercing, etc. - things that would rightly be considered child abuse. Circumcision is different only because it is widespread and traditional. But that doesn't make it right.

Do you understand that?

I'm circumcised and am not Jewish I thank my parents for it. why? Hygiene. It's often done to lessen chances of infection and STD's

If you were circumsized when young, how do you know it does not affect anything?
