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.
Its not funny, but you cannot help but laugh at California fruits and nuts..
It’s a brutal operation. I had it done when I was a baby and I couldn’t walk for a year...
You know, I think YOURS is the post of the day!
(the word abortion was crossed out — sorry, copying it got rid of the crossed part)
