To the ~33% people who have downvoted this: you're literally arguing against a person's right not to have their body receive unnecessary surgical manipulations until they're old enough to actually consent to it. Babies are not their parents' property. Let people decide when they're adults.
Unfortunately a lot of Americans believe children are the property of their parents. We need a children's bill of rights.
The UN already has that, the convention on the rights of a child. Every UN country except the United States has signed.
Children don't pay taxes and cannot vote so good lol with that :-/
Yah this should be true for any action except stuff like important medical surgery due to complications and surgery for facial defects BUT IRREVERSIBLE FORESKIN REMOVAL WITHOUGHT MEDICAL REASONS IS MORALLY WRONG
Do you think that anyone born with a cleft palate, cleft lip, hemangiomas, craniosynostosis, facial palsy, or any corrective jaw surgeries should be told to wait until 18 when all of these procedures are far less effective and far more difficult to do?
Being born with a foreskin isn't a damn defect!
It’s interesting how many apparently religious people feel the need to hang out in an atheist community.
isn't this true for a heap of non Jewish American males too?
My wife is European Jewish but not religious. I'm Hispanic. The number of her relatives who asked us about or had an opinion about our baby's penis was infuriating and alarming. I got a bit harsh with my replies after a while and they clued in and shut up about it.
Broke the cycle with my son. It was insane the amount of people who didn't even belong to a religion that this is a symptom of, who were pushy about me having it performed. If my son wants to be cut, he can make that decision for himself later in life. All of the atheists I know, were the ones that were anti-mutilation.
oh i see the casual ever present, repeated, antisemitism has found it's way over from reddit. great. just great.
Being against genital mutilation is somehow antisemitism now?
