Total BS comparison, unless you don't know the difference between a man and a women.

Finally, leave us Jews alone. Do you understand?

It isn’t a perfect comparison, but in both cases you’re chopping off an infant’s body part, without its consent, effectively making sex less pleasurable for the rest of its life.

I would not support a ban like this, it probably should be a family (and religious) decision, but I do argue against families making that choice.

I know damn well what the difference about the difference between men and women. But I also know that every genital structure in males has a precise analogue in women, because these organs arise from the same embryonic and fetal tissues (i.e. they are homologous). The clitoris is a homologue of the penis, the labia majora of the scrotum, the foreskin of the clitoris (removed in female mutilation) of the foreskin of the penis (not only that, but they have the same function), the ovaries of the testicles, etc.

I posted that I would rather have an exception for Jews, and to eliminate routine infant circumcision for others by social stigma rather than by law. Most circumcisions are done by Drs. for bogus "health" reasons (really to make $), not by mohels for religious reasons.

Anyway, there are Jews already questioning the use of religious circumcision. And other practices which were once absolutely central to Jewish worship, like animal sacrifices, have already been abandoned.
