We don't come at this from a religious angle. We feel this is a very harmful thing. Parents are guardians. They are not owners of children.

And as a "guardian" of my children, I feel freak faggotry is a very harmful thing.

It should be banned in public, or anywhere a child MAY be present.

You know it’s not about the infant’s rights, since they applaude late term abortion and have no problem mutilating an unborn fetus inside the womb. Now they prickle over, the practice of circumcision.

Last existing families get out before the big one.

Can’t say what’s really on my mind over there real motives...

This is so stupid it makes my hair hurt. The only result will be the complete shutdown of all San Francisco Hospital's birthing facilities with a corresponding loss of income to the city. Palo Alto is not far away. You are not going to change parents choices this respect, it is religious and tradition based.

You have to be a real moron to be on the Board of Stupidvisors.

Parents should have the choice of circumcising one's child.

Still, circumcision is nothing more than unnecessary surgery.

This is not as far out there as banning toys in Happy Meals, IMO.

As an interesting cultural note, I was talking to an Arab Druze from Lebanon. His father took him and his brother to Saudi Arabia during the revolution so they wouldn’t get hurt. While in Saudi, the father took him to a doctor who discovered he hadn’t been circumcised. He said the doctor went nuts and insisted on doing the operation on him and his brother right there in his office. The father, who was also uncircumcised, said nothing and got away without being circumcised himself.

So much for parental input in Saudi Arabia.

Sodomy is a greater health risk than circumcision.

The problem with that argument, if the left tries to use it, is female “circumcision” is actually a clitorectomy, with multiple organs removed and then a sewing up of the opening leaving only a tiny hole for urine to pass out. That does not compare to male circumcision.

If you live in SF and have a baby boy in San Jose can you get him circumcised? or will you arrested when you go home?
