Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

    Studies have shown that circumcision is typically not necessary. There are definitely extreme cases where the procedure may be required but the cleanliness aspect or for sti protection is make belief.

      Yeah, but we are talking about the extreme cases. Even if it only happens once in the history of mankind that a boy’s foreskin grows together at the tip and the boy needs to be cut open before he pops like a pee balloon, then you still want that to be legal. You don’t want the doctor telling you that she doesn’t know, if she’s allowed to help the boy, so she won’t do it.
