"...the real question is, is circumcision a harm? I would say yes, and that therefore it should be precluded by law: let's say at national level. If I am right, and I am, then seeking for circumcision to be banned is quite righteous even as seeking abortion to be banned is quite righteous, for both pursuits follow the same reasoning: that harm to innocents is wrong and must be stopped. And yes, it is a sanctity of life issue: its the right for innocent human life to prosper without an archaic blood ritual being perpetuated on them.

Oh, I better get on board since you've decreed it so. Honestly, why don't you admit that you've got a wild hair and you really want to force everyone to do what you wish. Haven't you read the hundreds of posts here in favor of circumcision? Are ye deaf?

Frankly, I don't care about it one way or another. What I do care about is sanctimonious zealots trying to impose their personal kookery on all. You, friend, fit that description even more perfectly now than with your initial post. Rant on, you only alienate more people with your rigid and hysterical pseudo-religious insights.

Sigh. . .I can't believe I'm perpetuating this thread, but for anyone who would like to know the AAP's true position on circumcision (in contrast to the ridiculous statements in the article that initiated this discussion), here is the link to their most recent evidence-based policy statement on the subject:
