'Intactivists' to San Francisco: Ban circumcision.

The main point people are missing is that circumcision isn't being banned.

It's just banned for boys under the age of 17.

If a adult wishes to get circumcised for religious or aesthetic reasons they can do so you just can't do it to a baby.

Let's be clear here. No baby is Jewish or Muslim. You need to be an adult to make a religious choice.

Removing the foreskin from a male is not an equivalent to removing the clitoris from a female, Blake said, in terms of pain or long-term effects.

and popping a zit is not equivalent to removing the nose.

yes, we all recognise that someone can leave SF and get their kid cut in LA, but it's a start.

Damn skippy. If Muslim and Jewish guys want to partake of the Covenant, they should do it when they come of age, like all those heroes of the Tanach did.

It you want to ban circumcision as a male you are a fucking idiot. The rate for complications is the same for circumcision and having foreskin. The severity of complications for having foreskin are extreme and the older you are the more likely you are to have complications from being circumcised. Also, the Langerhans cells of the foreskin have been linked to the transmission of HIV and removal results in close to a 50% decrease in the chance for being infected. The use of local anesthetics to prevent pain and reduce trauma for infants is the best course of action. Evolution did not make our bodies perfect and to think natural is always better is naive and moronic.This attitude that men who have foreskin are intact while those whore are circumcised are not is elitist and only goes to show the idiocy of the movement.
