New male genital mutilation law in Norway - Since January 1st, all of Norway’s state-run hospitals have become legally obliged to offer circumcision of newborn baby boys.

I thought Norway was supposed to be a beacon of progressive ideals and sexual equality? Mutilating the genitals of babies doesn't sound very "progressive" to me. What a bunch of hypocrites.

The good news is; that almost all doctors and medical personnel are refusing to perform MGM on new born babies — they are repelling.

party leaders didn’t want to be seen as being either anti-Jewish or anti-Muslim

No problem at all being anti-male though.

I bet they made FGM legal too because they didn't want to offend some African states, right?

Right???

Since Norway has a strong gender equality law does that mean that they are also forced to offer circumcision of baby girls?

I mean why serve one gender and not the other?

This is such bullshit. Good on the doctors for taking a stand on this. All surgery not needed for be health needs consent. This isn't anti muslim or anti jewish. It's Pro patient

I'm willing to bet feminist groups were strong supporters of this proposal. I've always said it-downvote me if you want- I think feminists are secretly totally pro-circumcision. They have to pretend they arent as to not appear hypocritical, but if given the chance, they'll encourage it as much as possible

When are females going to be forced to mutilate baby girls?

2015-01-23T17:11:46+00:00

At Akershus University Hospital (Ahus) northeast of Oslo, fully 13 of its 15 urologists have submitted written statements reserving themselves against performing circumcision.

Progress. Slow but steady.

I'm so angry about this. There are many issues about which i don't agree with you folks but this is one on which I very strongly agree. Genital mutilation of any person without their consent is wrong and should not be legal.

First, do no harm. Unless the government tells you to, then you have to do it.

2015-01-23T01:16:06+00:00

Why not female circumcision? Seems fair

Northstar-center · 2015-01-23T01:02:36+00:00

Wait. I dunno get it. Is it mandatory? If so, then boooo, bad feminist. If not, then ok, fuck off feminist circumcision doctor, my kid will remain intact. Piss off and die. I dun care if it's recommended or sponsored or whatever shit. Dad has the right to disagree, unless it's required (bad feminist! Bad!) and if he agrees well then, bad Dad.

RAGE, This fucking disgusts me.

ShaidarHaran2 · 2015-01-25T04:08:47+00:00

The title leaves out the great part of this - the majority of doctors there are defying the law, claiming it's unnecessary.

Ok, I'm slightly confused here. Why is this so bad?
