Iceland has under consideration a bill to outlaw male circumcision and by doing so, put equal the rights of male and female children and uphold the UN's "The Convention on the Rights of the Child." There have been posted 134 comments on the bill. I read them all.

Disturbing:
@Barnaheill and#Barnaverndarstofa - two agencies with a primary objective to protect children FAIL in their assessment, bowing to religion in lieu of the individual autonomous right of the child.Show this thread -
The main domestic commentators are religious sects (Christian churches swaying to weak arguments of anti-Semitism or xenophobia.) Educated people are sending in arguments claiming health benefits, reduced HIV infection rate, reduced STD rate etc. contrary to proven facts.
