How about pleasing everyone by leaving babies intact and letting them decide for themselves as adults whether they want to be cut or not?

Adult circ is not the same as infant circ. Done in infancy, there is no feeling of loss or nerve, the skin can grow with the cut resulting in a better outcome, less risk and complications, less cost, etc

Actually baby’s do feel pain from the procedure.

You're absolutely right; newborn babies cannot be given the same anesthesia as an adult and often are given no anesthesia at all. Often the excuse is given that they "won't remember" the pain: http://www.cirp.org/library/pain/taddio2/ … https://www.iaim.net/extreme-trauma-from-male-circumcision-causes-damage-to-areas-of-brain/ …https://intactamerica.wordpress.com/2013/09/18/circumcision-and-rape-does-a-victims-memory-matter/ …

Comparing circ to rape isn’t a good look. Already so many of you propose we allow FGM when you’re practically pissing your pants from shrieking male circ is wrong. Hipocrisy! Sickos!

We don’t support FGM just like we don’t support MGM.

I’m glad to hear you say you don’t. Stop equation the two because it’s very confusing when you hear statements like “if you support circ then FGM is ok”

Every anti-circ activist I know opposed the AAP when they proposed a ritual nick for girls, far less damaging than male circ. There are forms of FGM that are identical to or less serious than MGM, but laws ban them all. There are parallels even if you choose not to see them

Sit down
@DaOne17718394, I’ve been responding to that assertion in stride k Also regardless, there are ppl IN THIS THREAD that say that if circ is allowed FGM MUST be allowed. No. Never Lastly the nick is the rarest form of FGM, while the standard circ does not harm the organ.4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
You haven't made a single valid, fact-based response to that point about #FGM, whether "in stride" or otherwise. That includes this tweet, which demonstrates only your own fact-free state of denial. As you yourself have admitted elsewhere, #circumcision does harm the foreskin #i2
