Looong Facebook flame war regarding the religious, ethical, and legal questions surrounding infant male circumcision.

I like how all the people were advocating female circumcision. "The gov shouldn't be allowed to herp derp." Why should they be allowed to interfere with how you raise you girl, but not your boy? I think circumcising my daughter is in her best interest, but the government wont let me!

I'm the OP. The crux of the situation is that it doesn't seem like too many people get the fact that circumcision is a harmful practice that should be the decision of the circumsizee. Many of my friends on there are "Republicans who are for the rights of the individual." Which I guess is why Republicans are against choice and what goes on between two consenting adults...

Female circumcision is a lot more invasive and a lot more prone to infection. It doesn't help that it's usually not performed by doctors in a safe environment with proper equipment. Their pain and suffering shouldn't be taken lightly.

That being said, I'm against any unnecessary surgery performed on children. Circumcision included. Chances are, if the vast majority of the population is born that way, it's not a problem, so why have surgery to 'fix' something when there's nothing wrong in the first place?
