Also halvah, falafel and humous..
At least we could hang Streicher...
When do they start talking about making Matzoh from the blood of Progressive babies?
That is one of the most offensive cartoons I’ve even seen.
I would laugh in their faces.
First, you are not healing anything here, you're causing a needless injury to a normally formed, functional body part.
Second, "rights to free religious practice" do not extend to third-parties taking knives to a baby on your behalf. These newborns have rights too. A right to be safe and whole, not to be maimed. A right to decide whether to engage in a religious rite that will permanently alter his physical person.
If Mormons or Scientologists branded infants like cattle, the outrage would be deafening, and the resistance to this common sense infant protection would be non-existent.
While their son is still in the womb it is merely a women’s choice to horribly and painfully rip his limbs off one by one, burn him up alive with saline solution or as he is forced to not quite come all the way out of the birth canal stick a scissors into his neck and twist until he is dead but circumcism is evil. In this evil propaganda they make it seem like circumcism is the man’s choice and that is what makes it evil. Really demented thinking people!
This should be used as part of a national television campaign against all Democrats. Someone get the paint brush with the broad stroke.
FWIW, modern plastic surgery makes foreskin reconstruction as an adult fairly straightforward, if a bit painful. Many of those who do this choose “re-circumcision” because the foreskin proves more trouble than it seems worth, after having grown up not having to worry about cleaning around it and then discovering the “joys” of smegma. Many non religious parents have it done to their babies for sanitary reasons.
It’s not anti-Semitic, it’s anti-AMERICAN. What we do in our personal lives should have no bearing from the “government” that we finance with OUR money. (Get outta’ here and leave me alone!!!)
You must be living under a rock - killing a well-formed baby in the womb is a personal choice. Minor surgery for religious and/or hygiene is absolutely verboten because it only offends the sensibilities of Jew-hating, immoral, lefties - you know, the lions of tolerance ...
Kids may misbehave sometimes but are not animals. They are not property.
If you saw a guy cutting into his own child, you'd make every effort to stop him and would alert the authorities. "God told me to" wouldn't satisfy, it wouldn't satisfy a court and he'd be given a psychiatric evaluation.
Circumcision defenders see certain parents as falling into a protected class, with special exemptions to American ideas of individual liberty with their children as chattel.
Children are thinking, feeling, free human beings to be instructed, not incised, to be protected, not pared.
If persons insist on cutting others, whatever their justification, they can violate civil law and suffer consequences accordingly. Sometimes faith runs contrary to civic values.
Constitutional freedom of religion is about the freedom to gather, to worship, to pray, to live by your moral code and instruct your children in the same.
If you extend that to include use of instruments to remove flesh from someone other than yourself, you can justify anything under the umbrella "he's just practicing his religion."
But wait, what if we limit the exception to just "recognized" religions like Judaism or Christianity? Government picking-and-choosing an official list of religions is a non-starter that falls far afield of the 1st amendment.
I tend to agree with you. If Mormons did this and Jews didn’t, half of FR would be apoplectic about the “crime” of circumcision.
actually, not, my midwife just said when we had our son it was a choice. She said people decide on whether the father is circumcized or not.
This is physical proof and a symbol of a Covenant With God.
How about we ban wearing a crucifix? It's a safety hazard. Besides, it shows your loyalty to the Pope. Don't want anyone to be offended.
Comparing circumcision, which has medical uses, and is deeply ingrained in the traditions and conscience of the people for both cultural and religious reasons, with “cutting his own child” for sadistic pleasure is simply laughable.
The fact is, parents have a Constitutional fundamental right to direct the upbringing of their children, and that fundamental right includes the decision to decide whether the child will be circumcised or not.
Homosexual perverts want to make that decision for the parents, so they can recruit these children later in life.
Sorry, it simply doesn’t work that way.
