Outside of the obviously incredibly rare life threatening scenarios, performing surgery on a literal newborn baby for anything that's not medically necessary should land you in prison, circumcision being the biggest one.

It's such a widespread norm that literal mutilation of a newborn isn't even a shocker. Imagine just taking out an eye, or half his tongue, baby crying because he just entered the world and already being torn apart, but it's religious views!

I have nothing against people who are adults and became circumcised as an adult. Go for it but do whatever the hell you want to your body.

You are pushing mutilation and projecting these views into a newborn infants body. Fuck anyone who does this and fuck the doctors who do it too. Every single one of you should be dead or rotting in a cell.
