Bizarre.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Let’s all live in the 7th century! It will be so much fun!

[GeronL]

Dhimmi-hood.

Did you think it was going to be good for the girls?

But the alternative is to drag a whole bunch of people (using the term loosely) out of the twelfth century. We mustn’t do that?!

The male members of the American Academy of Pediatrics who signed on to this should be castrated with a dull, rusty knife.

This cannot be true! I have known for some time that most 'official' Doctor's organizations are far Leftists. I had a (former) friend, Psychologist tell me that the American Psychological Society changed homosexuality from a psychiatric illness to a 'variation on normal' in the 70's. Cutting edge of Leftism. We will be lost as a culture if this is allowed on our soil.

What were they thinking? Appeasing muslims

While I have reserved the following statement for my daughters future boyfriends... I think I can make an exception here...

“Touch my daughter and I’ll shove your gonads down your throat.”

Anyone that would harm a girl that way deserves a date with a morning star.

Yes, the 7th century is going to be so much fun. Why the heck are we letting this primitive, stupid, ugly, backwards cult take us over without even a fight? And some of our most educated people are out there opening the door and letting it in.

[Jack Hydrazine]

I have a great idea. Lets get the female doctors to have this done to them before they decide to endorse it.

Dr. Ross should be immediately removed from his position and charged with conspiracy to aid in child abuse.

I’m certain that the National Organization for Women will be out soon with a very strong condemnation of this action.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Animals.

[IrishCatholic]

Well, so much for that organization.

Yet these same people go ballistic if you ask that your infant baby boys be circumcised.

[thecodont]

Whatever happened to the Hippocratic Oath? “First, do no harm”?

[culpeper]

Destroying Western Culture in the name of diversity.

Those families that insist on genital mutilation, which is currently illegal in the United States, will do whatever it takes to get it done.

Why not just prosecute them, take their children from them, forbid those who accept it as immigrants?

But them I'm not running things.

This, to me, is a matter of religious liberty. If we base our view that female circumcision should be prohibited because it is cruel, how then do you defend the practice of male circumcision? There are many ritual customs within a particular religion that seem cruel or bizarre to those outside that religious system. Is there an universal principle that can be created to determine what religious practices are permitted or not? Who decides those principles? I do not support female “nicks” or circumcision, and I am horrified by the practice; however, I have to look at it from a more legal or philosophical reference.
