"It is a rite"? So was human sacrifice, from the same time child

If parents stay uneducated about
#circumcision, as so many in the US do, then their children are left defenseless. US MDs certainly won't protect them. And even a parent's adamant refusal to consent sometimes isn't enough to defend them, as I've already explained to you.#i21 reply 0 retweets 7 likes -

Defenseless to what exactly? Also circ is not forcibly performed. It is an elective operation

It's forced. Ever heard of a circumstraint? Google it.

Right well I fought the nurses who tried to manually remove my blood clots after birthing twins - it wasn’t forced because I consented to the life saving process, but it was painful so my instinct was to fight. Not an equivalency

Sorry for your traumatic experience but I think you'll find that YOU consented. Without that procedure you wouldn't be tweeting today, youd likely be DEAD. The twins were healthy at this stage. Until YOU consented to a risky procedure that irreversibly harmed them

They are still healthy, arguable more healthy than if I had left them intact. As a parent, you must consent because a child cannot.

A parent validly permits a procedure that is NEEDED for a child's DIAGNOSIS or TREATMENT. Circumcision of a healthy child isn't diagnosis or treatment. A parent CANNOT validly consent to amputative surgery on a healthy child's genitals. #Bioethics 101 #i2
