Not a credible discussion without reference to the fact that circumcision lessens risk for a number of disorders, not the least of which, HIV/AIDS.
It could assert that this is not a significant factor.
But simply to disregard it, is not credible.

I really have no use for Libertarians. They might have a grasp of economics, but they have no grasp of the social system which serves as the foundation for our economic system.
There is a reason why the Western world led the world in advancement and technology for so many years, and it is entirely because all social systems are not equal.

Not a credible discussion without reference to the fact that circumcision lessens risk for a number of disorders, not the least of which, HIV/AIDS. And that FGM has no corresponding health benefits.
To: CharlesOConnell
Don’t forget that urinary tract infections are almost nonexistent in circumcised males. We wouldn’t want to deprive them.

What kind of agreement? If it was legally binding she can be punished for not fulfilling it.

It’s obvious to me why the left would oppose circumcision.
It’s a tradition that God commanded to His people in order to show that they were His.

Glad my folks had me snipped.
And I’ve never missed it.

As long as they don’t command Jews to keep from circumcising.

They might have a grasp of economics, but they have no grasp of the social system which serves as the foundation for our economic system. I believe the only thing that "Big L" Libertarians grasp, is the cylindrical body of bong.

“four-year-old son, Heather Hironimus”
The author either thinks the son is named Heather or needs to work on improving grammar.

beautiful straw man argument. Have you ever considered becoming a liberal? They are terrific at straw man arguments, even better tha n you, but, then there”s always room for improvement.

Wait’...the kid is four years old and they are going to still circumcise him...?
Dad must be a sick bastard to still want to go though with it because he wants his kids penis to look like his...?

You left off a pretty important part of the sentence:
The mother of a four-year-old son, Heather Hironimus

Silly me. I thought libertarians were big on the sanctity of contracts, necessary if they want to disassemble so much of the rest of government machinery.
If they throw contracts under the bus, what do they have left?
I guess you don’t have to keep a contract if you change your mind.
Comparing male circumcision to at least the more common forms of FGM is hyperbole. There are forms of FGM that are roughly comparable.
To: rickmichaels
I thought the issue at the root of this was going back on the agreement with the boy’s father.

She signed a parenting agreement, then tried to back out.
