Any level of government having a say in the matter is stupid and just another example of how people now believe that freedom means being free to dictate to others.

Let parents decide just like they always have. If down the road their kid goes bad because of "foreskin envy" or "circumcision envy" it'll just prove the parents and the kid are both stupid. JMHO

So you have no problem with African muslims doing FGM on their little girls??

You have no belief in individual rights and individual liberty. You advocate the mutilation of newborn males on the whim of one or both parents entirely for cosmetic reasons, at best, or no reason at all at worst. You're sick and demented.

Modern hygiene obviates supposed 'health benefits' of circumcision. It's also far less scaring and protects the individual's personal liberty.

Either you recognize the baby boy is a separate and distinct person or you don't. There are plenty of prolifers hypocritical on this issue.

The religious argument is another thing altogether and, frankly, I'm aghast more Americans can't see ritual circumcision as an offense to the newborn individual's God-given right to freedom of religion. This is not anti-Semitism, this is Americanism.

If this involved some other group, let's say Mormons were branding their newborn girls like cattle, the outrage would be tremendous and deafening. The only time a parent should decide on circumcision is in the medically necessary cases where the child obviously cannot make the decision for himself. If he was born normally, leave him alone.
