Circumcision is NOT a vaccine!

So let's boil down this line of thinking then, shall we? Many pro-circumcision people state that circumcision helps reduce the rates of STD spreading. In essence, it's good to chop off a body part on an infant who has no choice in the matter. By that effect, why aren't we surgically removing noses from children to prevent the common cold from passing around? Why aren't we removing our eyes prematurely to help avoid getting cataracts? You see, when you apply this line of thinking elsewhere, it becomes quite evident just how ridiculous this line of thinking is.

I wish more people of the pro-circumcision crowd would stop arguing for just five minutes and perhaps get educated on just how important the foreskin is. It should be no one's right to force the operation of circumcision on infants who have no choice in the matter, as it is a clear violation of human rights. Period.

“I think it’s important that pediatricians consider the lifelong benefits that might accrue from circumcision when they are advising parents on whether the procedure should be performed in baby boys.”

Circumcision is not Gardasil. It is physical mutilation. Sexually inactive children shouldn't be treated for sexually transmitted diseases. I don't have a problem if a boy/man wants to be circumcised by his own volition. Doing it to baby boys is cruel and barbaric.

Uh ok? Nobody said it was a vaccine.
