"One Nation Under God"

"God" can be taken as many different things. It's Chauvinistic to think that that phrase refers only to a Jewish god or a Christian god.

I for example believe we are each in our own ways God.

yes it is about equal rights AND about protection of children. It has nothing to do with stopping religious practices. That's just a casualty.

A vulva is no more important than a p3nis. As such a law protecting female genitals without one that protects the male is basically saying that Females are part of an upper tier of society that deserve protection.

This is against the constitution as well.

" Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State...

Yeah i keep restating it because you don't seem to get it.

Your chauvinism limits your ability to have an open mind and to realize the truth.

Can't reach everyone with rationality. Which is why this law must be passed!

Equal rights for boys and girls to stop their parents from cutting their genitals!

Freedom of religion doesn't extend to practices that harm other human beings.

How can you sit there and say that cutting off a normal and healthy body part from someone else doesn't harm them?

The medical communities have ulterior motives behind the thinly veiled "neutral stance"
Male Genital Mutilation known as Circumcision is the most common surgery performed in the US. It's over a billion a year in revenue for hospitals across the US.

Medical supplies+hospitol stay+the assault+numerous touchups+checkups following the mutilation all add up to hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

The cases where the child dies of circumcision are covered up because they rarely if ever outwardly admit Circumcision...

It is harmful, how dare you suggest that the male has "extra" body parts that can be cut off with no consequence.

Especially when it has to do with the genitals. that is extremely chauvinistic sexism right there.

Societal norms they may be, but Laws should not be made to enforce the double standards of Religions that are in the majority/in power are the ones that have their agendas untouched while less popular sects have theirs torn apart.

We're actually talking about ritualistic mutilation of infant genitals being accepted simply because it's a part of "Jewish faith".

The law doesn't bow down to religion. Parents who refuse to seek medical attention for sick children because they have faith in god's...

Yeah, most non religious genital mutilations are done because of "tradition" which is just as barbaric and unacceptable as cutting infants in the name of Religion.

There are healthy benefits for knocking out an infant's teeth too. No cavities! Get false teeth!

All body parts, even healthy ones, represent some risk and can be infected. That's not up to the parents to decide which ones a child can or can't have.


Breasts give breast cancer in males and females. Breast cancer can be avoided with proper diet and healthy exercises and life choices but that still doesn't account for the genetics of the individual. Cutting off male and female breasts would serve to save more lives than cutting off foreskins.

HIV...

The state does and regularly has enforced Laws that prevent religious practices/punishments.

Mormons can't practice polygamy.

Various cultures/religions can't practice Female Genital Mutilation.

Christians and Jews can't murder those who work on Sunday/adulterous wives/rebellious children.

This wouldn't open the Pandoras box. This is simply stopping one practice that has been overlooked.

Religion shouldn't be about "You cut off this and then god loves you"

Sorry but the fact of the matter is you're mutilating a child's genitals against his will. A valuable body part that

Parents don't have any more of a right to sever a child's foreskin than they do a clitoris,eyelid,finger. The...

I'm intolerant of people cutting infant genitals without immediate and dire medical need.

I love people, that's why i believe people should be able to choose for themselves if they're going to have their body permanently disfigured in the name of a religion. NOBODY else can choose that for you. Not even your parents.

You can call me stupid, Whatever. I don't see how calling me stupid will help you make your points... But my points still remain.

I ask all people to be considerate and rational in this. I give people the facts they NEED to hear not what they WANT to hear. If the only thing that you come up with is that i'm stupid well... I obviously can't argue you with you further.

"Abortion is just fine ... No problem there. Right?"

Abortion is not part of this discussion, please stick to the topic at hand.

But on that note, So a child has the right ot be born... but only in a way the parents deem fit? Like without specific erogenous tissue.

So a parent is allowed to pick and choose what body parts their male child is allowed to keep based on what right? You defend the right of the child to live yet those rights disappear when it involves his own body and natural normal healthy body parts.

Yeah Abraham, supposedly the guy who decides that cutting off a part of his dong makes him closer to god.

I find it humorous and equally offsetting that you as a woman are speaking in favor of the genital mutilation of males.

Would you find it acceptable for a male who's religion required FGM to suggest that the clitoris is the only thing that keeps women from getting into heaven? Would it matter how old the religion was or how many respected members of it were?

My point is, it doesn't matter. A parent isn't a Jew because his baby boy had his genitals disfigured. A parent is a Jew in the heart and soul. A parent has the right to teach the child all the tenets of being Jewish but a parent does NOT have the right to...
