On circumcision, 'intactivists' are just wrong - latimes http://www.latimes.com/la-oe-allen-anti-circumcision-activists-20120812,0,2269752.story … The notion that circumcision reduces a man's sexual sensitivity has little basis in fact. Obsession with penis is the issue of the men in movement & their sex life.

Interesting point. But the anti-circumcision foreskin fetishists are also very anti-science like the anti-vac'ers and climate change deniers. They refuse to acknowledge the medical/health benefits of a circumcised penis.
-
That is not true. I worked as a hospital based birth Doula for 18 years we are opposed to a surgery that is not needed without benefits that can harm new born babies. Circumcision also impacts breastfeeding and most the world does not do it.
-
Look, we all have our own professional opinions. I preferred not to circumcise my son, but I left the decision up to his Dad and my husband felt it would be socially advantageous. You have to fight the battles you need to win.
-
How would society change if everyone just continued doing it bc it was 'socially advantageous'? I mean... You're just leaving it up to "it's the cultural norm so let's remove bits of our baby." FGM was excused the same way. It's not good enough for girls; why is it for boys?
-
At what point is that fight worth fighting? At what point is cosmetic surgery on babies worth objecting to with something resembling conviction? I mean FFS circumcision was popularized as an anti-masturbatory aid -- same as female circumcision -- way back by Kellog.

You can be certain that they are working hard, even at this moment, to reverse Row v Wade state by state. While we gawp at the national circus, the GOP is nefariously undermining the right to choice amongst American civil liberties.

Illinois ratified the E.R.A in the last year or two. We only have one more state left and we can finally put the ERA up for a congressional vote and free reproductive rights from being this political football every damned election cycle. It's not dead.

You realize that a child has the right to bodily autonomy and personal choice, right? Don't cut ANY childrens' genitals. There's no medical necessity.
