Florida Boy's Circumcision Spurs Lengthy Legal Battle, Protests BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — An estranged Florida couple's fight over whether to circumcise their son has become a rallying cry for those who denounce the procedure as barbaric. The dispute between Heather Hironimus, the mother opposing circumcision, and Dennis Nebus, the father favoring it, has sparked a prolonged court battle, protests and the rapt attention of a movement of self-proclaimed "intactivists."

I don’t remember but apparently I didn’t walk for a year after I was circumcised. Just saying...
It’s just a nutty woman!
Me too. I wasn’t able to talk either.
wonderful. let the damned courts deal with this ‘issue’ -—
it might keep them away from further imposing abortion, illegal immigration, or gun-grabbing
The boy is four. Time to teach him proper hygiene and forget about the circumcision. At this point I think it would be traumatic for him.
VERY DIBILITATING experience for me. Basically I was bed-ridden, couldn’t talk, or move anywhere for months. I was pooping myself multiple times a day and somebody else had to feed me. I was completely dependent on my assistant for everything!
I shudder at the mere thought of going through that again. It’s not for everybody- I gurantee you that!
Eventually, I got better.
I agree. I mean the pro-circumcise crowd should be stunned that it hasn’t been infected and fallen off after 4 years. /s
I find it irritating that people still use the excuse that it’s for hygiene and the safety of the child...
Makes one wonder... How have the other 3 Billion males made it?
People condemn the muzzies for cutting women, yet cutting males is ok? Why in the world are we cutting at all. Let the child decide what to do to their body, after they turn 18.
We are born cold, wet, naked and crying. Life only gets worse.
Nope, better to do at four what should have been done when it was the best time to do it. The mother is an idiot.
Sorry, don’t agree with you at all.
Mine effected me so badly that I couldn’t walk, talk and barely stood for the better part of a year. It also caused me to be incontinent for close to two years.

Their business, not mine.
The only problem I have with what you are saying is that my cousin wasn’t circumcised at birth. As his body and penis grew his foreskin didn’t and ended up closing over his urethra. At six when he had the operation so he could actually urinate, at least with some stream control or stream at all, it was a much worse experience. The recovery was unpleasant.
Well, now they’re allowing transgenders to change their birth certificates, without a penis removal.
Let the kid decide.
I think circumcision is probably a good healthy practice but you’re right ....that procedure done at that age is not the right thing....let him grow to be a man, and he could have it done then if he wants...
