That is an older article from before the anti-circ movement actually started to gain traction. The end result is not that surprising. That being said, if people really want to push legislature through, they actually have to fight it tooth an nail. Not give up when it gets tough.

2011 not long ago-nothing changed-you think AJC wouldn't do same today? Intactivists worked hard as hell just to get BALLOT MEASURE in City of San Francisco to VOTE on whether to ban infant circumcision. Jewish lobby went to court to stop people from even being able to vote on it

2011 is nearly eight years ago, that's on the closer end of a decade. I'd say quite a bit has changed since then. If concerns revolve around the ballot being removed, then actually defend it using the legal system. Take it to court as well, possibly a higher one.

It is close to a decade ago yes, that's a fifth of my life ago, it's 4% of the time circumcision has been a 'medical' procedure in the USA, and it's 0.4% of the time since the bris was changed to add priah.

It's not really that long ago, and the last two years have set A LOT of things back when it comes to rights and progress.

That's where I disagree with you, this topic recently within the last couple years picked up momentum.
