This mountain could turn into a mohel.
So religiously observant Jewish families will have it done outside of San Francisco, as well as those who believe it better for health reasons.
The word Bris means covenant; the word Milah, to cut. Ritual circumcision is the covenant G-d has established with the Jewish people through the commandment of circumcision.
The big government libs in SF have no authority to regulate this personal choice. What happened to the "right to privacy" that they created, or is it like all other lib creations and only applies selectively when the arbiters of political correctness decide to play that card?
All your foreskins are belong to us.
Yep. There is an issue that needs to be addressed by local government.
Sorry, cant do much about the homeless craping in the street...
Not necessarily. I have known two doctors that are adamantly against it and will counsel young parents accordingly and even more doctors that are for it and will counsel young parents accordingly, even more aggressively, which very effectively removes it from the "private family matter" arena.
Personally, I think it should be an individual decision, and since the poor kid is too young to make the decision, then, well, they'll just have to wait until he's old enough before they go removing a very sensitive portion of his anatomy.
I'm not cut. Don't want to be cut. See no reason to be cut and have never had a hygiene problem, which is the first thing most advocates throw out there. My mama and daddy taught me how to use a wash cloth and soap and none of my wives have died from cervical cancer because I wasn't circumcised, nor any of my mistresses. (All "0" of them.)
But...to each his own.
(Yes, there is a certain amount of sarcasm there, but I see no good reason to perform a circumcision on a child that has no idea as to why it was done and for which there is no good reason given.)
Practioners who perfom circumcisions claim that the pay is lousy, but the tips are great.
Everything in San Francisco makes so much sense.
Next they will want to conduct inspections to make sure that boys are in compliance. There will a new public employee union, Pecker Checkers International Union. There will be plenty of job applicants.

Does Circumcision Prevent AIDS?
Dumdeeedumdumdum....
Why attack circumcision?
Will the prepuce Nazi ban pierced ears or pierced tongues?
Could this ban having anything to do with the hatred that
the leftists, socialist, commies have towards God?
Why don’t they ban anal intercourse in San Francisco?
That practice is much more nasty and deadly than snipping
off loose skin.
God will deal with these people in due time and that
will be worth seeing! I’ve got ring side seats!
San Francisco should be circumcised from the U.S.A.
Both Judaism and some members Islam practice circumcision for religious reasons. How will this jive with First Amendment rights?
Thanks for the tip.
Will this lead to back alley circumcisions?
There are lot of potential draw backs to this law.
Outrageous! If they have the money to pay for this ballot measure than its proof these fools have way too much access to way too much money.
If this one passes, then they ought to try banning baptism next, since babies are too young to make a decision about that too. Same foolish logic.
If the US Government tried to impose a requirement like this on the State of California, the brain trust in Baghdad on the Bay would be howling so loud you would be able to hear them around the globe. This demonstrates how close to Stalinism Liberalism really is.
I’m guessing obama was circumcised and they threw away the wrong part!
I am Jewish and I was circumcised when I was eight days old. I don’t remember if it hurt, but I couldn’t walk for a year.
Lot of idiots live in that place.
