dead horse time: an unborn child can't elect to be aborted either, but many of the same people pissing themselves over circumcision have no problems with abortion. :shrug:

And many of the people who cite The Silent Scream to claim that abortion is horrifically painful say that circumcision is okay because babies don't remember it.
 
I am still pretty astonished at how emotional and downright vicious some people get over this issue. Particularly baffling is that many of the most irate don't have a penis! :doh:


WTH is the big deal? Let those who want to do it, do it; those who don't, don't.

I mean WTF? My parents had me circumcised at birth; I don't give a ****. My son was circumcised at birth; he's never had any problems. Times when I've had to use communal showers or common changing rooms, something like 95% of the men appeared to be circumcised as far as I noticed, and I've yet to meet a single man who's told me it caused him problems or he wished he hadn't been.

If you don't like it, don't do it. Dayum.

I'm suing my parents for not suing the doctor after they told him not to, and he did it anyway.

They're applying the same logic they use from an abortion...that the fetus doesn't remember it.

you get over the pain of circumcision. you can't recover from an abortion :shrug:

If the circumcision was done while in the fetal stage, I'm positive pro-choicers wouldn't be citing the pain of it as a reason against it.
 
Going back to the beginning of this thread and re looking over it I realized something. Is this supposed to be a ban on circumcision as a whole or just on non-adults (usually infants)?

And to add to that would you be willing to allow circumcision for adults while making it illegal for non-adults?

I've been assuming we're talking about non-consensual infant circumcision. I doubt anyone is debating a consenting adult's right to do it.

This is government we're talking about and with no link or noting on what the bill mentioned in the OP says who knows what the end game is.
