RIP First Amendment.
I think if jews would start attacking this as blatantly anti-semitic, and the rest of the folks would say this takes away choice (which the left always seems to want for everything THEY want to keep doing), this would go down in flames.
When circumcision is a crime ....
Amen. Whether you believe in creation, intelligent design, or evolution, the foreskin is there for a reason. We don’t go around removing any other normal, functional organs or tissues just because decades later and very rarely they might become diseased. Male circumcision is really quite similar to female genital mutilation. The tissue involved are homologous in both sexes. In both cases, everything is removed which some primitive tribesmen could remove without preventing reproduction. The tissue which is removed is, in the adult, the size of a playing card; it is not “a little snip” of “excess skin.”
It’s a fundamental issue of individual human rights. No one owns your body but you. No, not your parents, not the medical establishment either.
They have every authority to regulate it.
Its routine performance is medically unnecessary. It does harm to the patient, not to preserve and protect a life but for its own ends.
Parents need to get in through their skulls a child is a separate and distinct human being, not a piece of personal property. If you condone a child's genital mutilation you condone abortion.
Both presuppose a parental right to maim one's own child. One fatally, the other causes permanent damage to a private part fully formed and functionally normal.
Whether circumcision is medically necessary is entirely irrelevant. I have read the literature, in detail, and there are both significant long-term benefits and mild short-term risks to the procedure. As for the authority to regulate the decision, Jews have a G-d-given human right to make that choice, and the First Amendment makes that human right an enforceable legal right. Anyone who wants to interfere in that decision will lose in any court governed by the supreme law of the land and should lose in any court (Note: the 9th Circuit does not count as a court governed by the Constitution and does not to any sensible person count as a court at all).
The right to privacy applies only to killing children, not minor surgery.
So keep killing ‘em, but don’t cut ‘em.
Learn how to post the message that you are referring to. I'm proud to be number one in anything but I'm not certain that your endorsement is really a feather in my cap. If you don't understand pure logic then it's best not to comment, you show your lack of comprehension.
lets see now, pouring a couple of ounces of warm water over your head is equivalent to cutting off the end of your penis......oh yeah, I never noticed the similarity before....sorry
You cannot be serious....you condone genital mutilation because your husbands mommy did....O.K. I guess, but not the greatest reason that comes to mind. If you would not have sex with an umcircumcised man, you'd be missing out on 70% of all men in the world (and the numbers are growing...so to speak) an uncircumcised male can usually retract the foreskin and therefore appear to be circumcised, or leave it where it is and appear as God created him.....what a concept. I didn't notice in your comments, anything having to do with female genital mutilation.....how come???
Now that's funny
you are in the longest line in the world.....doesn't matter however, when I'm right, I'm right!!!
I guess you can’t recoginise sarcasm...??
Thanks for commenting.
Your subsequent posts only prove my point.
