And please bear in mind that this is not a matter of the state government 'using health concerns to strip people of liberties' - unless you're referring to the liberty of people to mutilate their children. The infants have no say in the matter, and it's well-known that those who do have say in whether their genitals are mutilated (i.e., adults) rarely choose to get themselves mutilated..

Circumcision was banned for many years in the soviet Union. Now that religion may once again be freely practiced, fathers are bringing their baby boys to be circumcised, and frequently request the procedure for themselves as well.

The Bible requires the procedure to be performed on the 8th day.

[Jotmo]

You need to lay off the "mutilation" and "barbaric" rhetoric you wish to be taken seriously.
