Thus the prevalence of Flow-vees in the early nineties. ;) Likewise the banning of Jarts, many a moon ago.

The legislation here has a barely unstated intent of impinging on a religious practice thousands of years old. In SF, I sincerely doubt that hygiene in foremost in the minds of those creating the law-to-be.

Furthermore, within the bill, and in the spin, an attempt is made to equate circumcision of men with female genital mutilation, wherein many far worse things occur. I am not in any way saying that everyone should or shouldn’t be circumcised. I am saying that this is a bill directed at long-standing religious practice in a country where such practices are ordinarily protected under law, as part of the ability to freely practice one’s religion.

Yeah, Islam practices a lot of barbaric things from long ago, violating the rights of others. Doesn’t make them right.
