What is the end game? You aren't going to stay away from the police forever. Again it's irrational. If you are a concerned mother as she would claim, assuming you are being rational, then your child's well-being should come first and leaving your child in the hands of someone else while you go to jail doesn't make sense no matter what the issue is.

I said activists, not having opposition.

I have been to multiple activists website from the biggest Intactivists in the country and they have just about all been women. I'm not saying that men don't support this, but it's ironic because men are often times shunned for having opinions on anything dealing with women's health, i.e. birth control, abortion, etc.
It's because we are your mommies and we love you.

I didn't really want my son to be circumcised, because who wants to put their newborn through pain, but I left the decision up to his dad, who wanted it done. My former husband (dad) is uncircumcised and always felt weird in locker rooms and such. It's a guy thing, so I backed off.

If the lord had wanted no foreskins he would have built 'em that way.

And I think that's the respectful thing to do. I think there are certain things personally that we as men and women can't completely understand. I can't tell my wife any and everything she should do while she is pregnant. There are certain things she understands, that I may not, but I respect and support her because I trust that she has a great understand of what that experience is like. The same for this, as a man, I would imagine your ex-husband has a different perspective than you do. It doesn't mean that your opinion doesn't matter but it's not the same.

What the media isn't really mentioning though:

Sun Sentinel

Quote:

Nebus testified in court in 2013 that he wanted his son to get a circumcision
after noticing that he was urinating on his leg. He said a doctor told him the
boy had a condition called phimosis, which prevents retraction of the foreskin,
but Hironimus said there has been no such diagnosis.

I always thought circumcision was a personal choice.

If this woman is being forced, is it her husband who had a court order?

Sorry, I didn't read through the thread and do not know if this is due to a court order.

My boys were done at birth not at 4 y/o. I imagine it would hurt like heck after the surgery to remove the foreskin.

I love you too mommy! Wait, I don't think my mom has a CD account JK

I think your last statement is a bit weird. (your ex husband no offense) The very LAST thing that ever was discussed in locker rooms was our penis while I was in there.

I'm uncircumcised too and I'd feel weird and abit angry if another man asked me a question about my penis.

They didn't say anything, they just looked at him funny. I guess his junk looked different than everybody else's junk. What do I know? Girls hide everything in the locker room. We are different.

I really dont side either way with this issue, I can be for or against. I would think its best if your going to do it, have it done when the child is an infant, not later in life. To me the procedure is unnecessary, though I am not a doctor or know a whole lot about the pros/cons.

With this case though, I dont blame the mother for sticking up for her son with what she felt was best, even if it seemed extreme. She still did break the law and may have to face the consequence of that. Not sure how a couple could come to an agreement when one is strongly for it and other against. Tough situation.
