Circumcision: Routine operation may be a crime (cross-link to Atheism)

I've long believed the only way to stop circumcision is to sue the doctors (and possibly parents).

Circumcision was foisted upon the public by doctors making-up reasons to carve off boys and men's penises.

Doctors will not be removed from their position of trust (kind of defeats the point of having doctors).

Parents aren't getting any smarter.

There is no political capital to successfully push an anti-MGM bill through congress.

"Getting the word out" is slow. And every time progress is made, we see a flare-up in the media of articles basically saying "okay okay, circumcision doesn't solve X like we said, but it might be good for Y! Let's keep doing it!!!"

Therefore circumcision in the USA will only stop when doctors fear retribution for their criminal behaviour. Civil litigation only requires a demonstration of harm done, and there's plenty of scientific evidence to prove harm.

The only way I really see it stopping is with our sons. By the power of the internet, there is a dwindling number of people who are ignorant about this or take their religion's or doctor's advice without question. We're not going to continue this barbaric tradition.
