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.
You may be correct. Post 38.
Actually, this is an extension of the McDonald's' regulations in that it ensures privately served Happy Meals are all natural.

How is this going to sit with their butt buddys the mooslims? How can they keep sucking up to them and ban a religious practice? How can they continue with their implementation of Sharia law in SF if the city council does stupid things like this?
Why did they only rule about male circumcision? Aren’t they concerned about female genital mutilation?
LOL...

“It’s just tissue.”
Okay, first, I originally saw this on my iPhone and thought it said “Bun-happy”.
Second...what about the inalienable right of each and every teenage San Franciscan to get a Prince Albert? This oppression will not stand.
...As well as forced female circumcision, provided it’s practiced as a religious ritual by those in the religion of peace.
And who still thinks that “progressives” and Nazis (national socialists) are not “birds of a feather”?
And Judaism.
Of course. I was just responding to the suggestion, above, that this targets Jews and not Muslims.
Soooo glad I wasn’t eating or drinking at the time...
I’m old and don’t care anymore???? I learned that expression from the guys on Free Republic....blame them...:O)
I strongly oppose circumcision, but this is just more fascism from the “we know better” crowd.
The reason why they want to ban it is because men without a Circumcision have a much higher rate of HIV. Thier goal (radical lefty gays) is to have a much higher rate of transfer.
Wouldn’t this qualify as discrimination against Jews?
Thanks to Obamacare that is essentially the case, is it not? They’re all hypocrites as well - after years of chanting “keep your laws off our bodies”. It makes it that much worse, IMHO.
