I believe mutilating/modifying anyone else's body, including a child, should be illegal. But that's just me.
Despite the fact that it has no demonstrable negative effects, may even have (minor) positive health effects, and is a sacred traditional and religious practice of millions of Jews and Muslims? I wouldn't choose it for myself/my child, but making it illegal seems rather extreme.
At least give the child a choice to make the decision for themselves once they hit puberty or some older age. As for the health ‘benefits’ I guess it just makes hygiene easier. I just have to be more hygienic than a standard American male :3
So you would support forbidding people from choosing to do it to their babies (when it is easy and safe)? Esp given its religious and cultural significance to Jews and Muslims? And lack of any harm? Borderline anti-Semitic, tbh. Religious freedom -> more important than foreskins
But I do wanna butt back in here and lmao that you said my stance was borderline anti-Semitic. Christians cut their babes too. It’s so common here in the U.S. that it’s become almost a standard. The Jewish faith or any Abrahamic faith did not come into my mind when opposing this
Sure, but it's not a part of Christian tradition. They aren't doing it for religious reasons. American hospitals routinely performing circumcisions for no real reason /is/ strange - but proposing a /law/ against anyone doing it effectively prohibits a Jewish/Muslim religious rite
They can do their rite, they just have to wait, wait until the boy can consent to it, I don't remember anywhere in the Bible where it says 8 days, Abraham was in his 90s when he was circumcised Biblically, and I have been told the Quran doesn't actually mention circumcision, >>
2> it's the hadiths that mention both male and female circumcision.
