“It’s a terrible idea,” said Rabbi Ronne Friedman of Temple Israel in Boston, who feels banning circumcision would trample on religious traditions. He doubted the bill would pass.

Thanks for posting this. It will interesting to see if the media pays it any attention.

I sometimes think that one role circumcision plays in our society is to demonstrate the disposability of men.

If society thought that it did not have the right to send lots of men to their deaths on a moments notice (to deal with a natural disaster or war), I think it would get very nervous.

If you can convince parents to let a doctor take a knife to their infant son's genitals, though, then you have demonstrated that even a boy's parents stand ready to sacrifice him if need be.

Check out the usual ignorant attacks in the comments -- although there are at least some reasonable people posting there.
