Unfortunately for San Francisco State, UC Irvine already calls its athletic teams the Anteaters.
Pretty soon, no families will live in San Fran Sicko. The idiots that supported these measures are stupid and short sighted.
In other words, there are absolutely no medical risks.
However, if your clinician chooses to dismember a fetus- no problem
Most people, including Debra J. Saunders, don’t mind putting a boundary around parental choice, so it’s really just an argument about where to draw the line.
It’s amazing that SF bans Happy Meals, and bans plastic bags, but allows public sex at events such as Folsom Street Fair. And these are the people who want to ban circumcision.
Well, anything involving the penis is of utmost importance in San Francisco. The dudes in The Castro will research this subject a lot between now and election day.
“an efficacious intervention for HIV prevention.” .................................... I doubt it, HIV is protected against by staying clear of HIV infected individuals. I don’t think circumcisions will end the HIV problem since it is a behavioral thing. Before 1945 circumcisions weren’t even a considered thing unless you lived in an urban area like NYC. The medical profession and hospitals will lose millions if the bill passes. Follow the $$$$.
“The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that parents be informed that “newborn male circumcision has POTENTIAL medical benefits and advantages as well as disadvantages and risks.”
Nuff said.
One would think that homosexual friendly San Francisco would welcome such a procedure. But when has science intruded on pc garbage thought?
Where is the Constitutional counterbalance here...regarding freedom of religion?
There are many doctors who explain the medical benefits of circumcision...so this can’t legitimately be claimed to be an absolute health safeguard. What about parents who want this procedure because they believe it IS healthier?
Everyone in the pub congratulated him and many told him that they
found it hard to believe that his baby weighed in so heavy.
But Tex assured them, “It’s true, it’s really true.”
When Tex came back to the same pub three weeks later, the barman said
to him, “Say, you're the father of the typical Texas baby that
weighed 20 pounds at birth aren’t you? So tell us, how much does your
baby weigh now?”
Tex proudly replied, “Twelve pounds.”
The barman could not understand this, so he asked Tex, “Why? Is he
ill? What happened? He weighed 20 pounds at birth, why has he lost so
much weight?”
Tex took a big swig from his beer, wiped his lips with the back of his
hand, leaned into the barman and proudly replied, “Had him
circumcised.”
(King Kong level of sarcasm - OFF)
Government loves to perform this maneuver. In football they call it the misdirection play. Voters are supposed to become distracted by this unimportant issue so as to keep them from noticing that government is flat on its a$$ on every important issue!
This is a queer promotion deal, nothing more or less.
