Remember when freedom of religion was protected under the First Amendment and honored in our country? I can think of quite a few Rabbis who will not be amused, not to mention their Boss, who probably is unimpressed with SF already.

The Board of Supervisors just banned toys in Happy Meals, which drew worldwide attention.
Now the latest ban being proposed in San Francisco is on male circumcision.
A proposed ballot measure for the November 2011 ballot – when voters will be electing the San Francisco’s next mayor – would amend The City’s police code “to make it a misdemeanor to circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18.”
Doing so would result in a fine of up to $1,000 and up to one year in jail, according to the proposed measure submitted to the Department of Elections.
The measure was submitted by San Francisco resident Lloyd Schofield, who has spoken up on this issue in the past.
He was not immediately available for comment.
For the ordinance to make it on to the November ballot, it would require the collection of 7,168 valid signatures by April 26, 2011.
It's unknown if Schofield approached members of the Board of Supervisors asking them to vote on such a measure before deciding to take it to the voters.
I thought they'd allow them, but tax the foreskin.
Isn’t male circumcision a ritual for both Jews and Muslims? Are there religious exceptions?
I wonder how this will affect various religious traditions?
Yeah, come to think of it on this Friday afternoon, isn’t this ban anti-Semitic?
Now, THAT'S hysterical.
WTF ping............

These are the same people who want to lower the age of consent to 10? When I saw this article I swore it was satire.
How do I know??? I have a mohel on the Court who leaks information to me from time to time.....
Pushing for the queer vote.
Sure have a lot of opinions about what should and shouldn’t be done with penises in SF, don’t they?
/c:
Does this apply to both males and females or are they giving the mooselimbs a pass?
Perhaps the SF attitude could be phrased thus:
If any part of the Bible says to DO something with a penis, SF outlaws it.
If any part of the Bible says NOT to do something with a penis, SF enshrines it.
There y’go.

If I hadn’t been in LA and listening to plenty of talk radio during
1995-2005, I’d say this story was from “The Onion”.
Unfortunately, I heard a few talking heads saying circumcision should
be banned...
“Sure have a lot of opinions about what should and shouldn’t be done with penises in SF, don’t they?”
That’s because in SF they are all dicks.
I’d move to SF and have a boy just to sue it.
Let’s see...
The streets are full of potholes.
Random gang-bangers rob people as they walk down the street with iPhones
Illegal immigrants gun down law abiding citizens
Homeless people have overrun public parks, urinating and defecating in public
The City is over a billion in debt
But having a BRIS is a public outrage. Got it.
Why would anyone care?
Over the last few decades circumcision, in the minds of the left, has been tied to western culture.
This isn’t an attempt to protect anyone, it is an attack on western curlture.
A mohel needs to move to SF just to sue it.
