Intactivist orgs keep trying to play up the possibility of male infant #circumcision bans in Northern European countries. As alluring as it all sounds, I’m not holding my breath. “The law follows society, rather than society following the law.” -Steven Svoboda on @circmovie

That's the thing though, in Europe society vastly does NOT circumcise, these are countries with circumcision rates in the single digits, maybe in the teens.

It’s also Europe, where the holocaust happened, and they want to treat anything related to it with kid gloves. Collectively they agree they don’t want to do something that reeks of “anti-Semitism,” and groups are ready to decry it. A ban will never happen until that changes.

Public polls and statements from medical organizations show support of bans are overwhelming. What prevents them from taking root is endless deference of governments towards outcries over "religious freedom" and pressure from America and Israel.

It’s a one-two-punch kind of deal. Religious groups of course cry #religiousfreedom. And why should drs continue to offer #circumcision as a service? Oh it has “medical benefits” the WHO recognizes etc. #i2
