I have some bad news.

I think it's odd that parents end up caring so much about what their sons penises look like.

Daft question time. I presume this petition is open to US residents only?

Sigh, my cynicism is coming out and I honestly don't think Obama gives one care. If he passed ACA with its gender bigotry, and no coverage of vasectomies why do you think he will attempt to take on the largest political donors ever. I am fully of a ban, but I believe a person can consent as early as 16 so I don't know if I agree. If the wording was a stop on non-consentual or non-infantile circumcision I would be closer to agreeing. Keep up the good fight though!

Yeah, just as soon as they stop sending billions of dollars a year to Israel and backing all its policy decisions no matter what, I'm sure they'll pass a law that every single Jewish resident of the US would protest.

A Cochrane meta-analysis of studies done on sexually active men in Africa found that circumcision reduces the infection rate of HIV among heterosexual men by 38%–66% over a period of 24 months,[13] and studies have concluded it is cost-effective in sub-Saharan Africa.[14] The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends considering it as part of a comprehensive HIV program in areas with high endemic rates of HIV.[14][15] Circumcision reduces the incidence of HSV-2 infections by 28%,[16] and is associated with reduced HPV prevalence[17][18][19][20] and a reduced risk of both urinary tract infections (UTIs) and penile cancer.

I must beg to differ on this issue.. I would allow for medical and religious circumcisions. While the child may not grow up to be a member of the parent's religion, Circumcision DOES have some benefits. Other than that, yeah. Ban it.

But it make my penis look bigger and most girls I've meet thinks its better that way. Honestly I never really thought of it until I saw a porno without one, and it looked disgusting.
