Circumcision of 12-year-old sparks holy war for parents

12 years old? Leave the poor kid alone!

[edcoil]

what religion were they when the boy was born? The 3 “major” religions circumcise at birth, not wait until 12. However, I say the boy needs his own lawyer and meet with a judge and his opinion is hat should matter. Ironically, if it was a girl, depending on the state, she could have an abortion without parents knowing.

You're wanna do what?

You post some strange stuff Lorianne.

WorldNut Daily, what do you expect?...........

Kinda reminds me of the story (fictional though it may be) of Abraham talking to God after he and Lot split up.

"Let me get this straight, He gets all of that nice pastureland, rivers and such, and we get to cut off our what!?"

I think the 12 year old could make that decision on his own.

[Rightly Biased]

My 60 year old Father in law had it done.

You don't say........

Geez, if he’s made it to 12 and hasn’t been struck by lightning for having a foreskin, can’t the judge just rule against surgery till the kid is 21 and can get it for himself if he wants to? Surely at that point, neither of the parents could object one way or the other.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but in Judaism, wouldn’t the boy be considered non-Jewish since his mother isn’t a Jew?

I think the 12 year old could make that decision on his own.

On his own what?

[Redcloak]

I added the appropriate keyword. : )

[Still Thinking]

Ba-dump bump. Have the veal, it’s great! I’ll be here all week!

[Just another Joe]

How about asking the KID?

[spunkets]

LOL!

“Son, would you like us to cut off part of your penis?”

At 12, the boy should decide.
