Complete and utter BS when stood in contrast with what this mutilation actually is.

Those who insist on it will be lucky to keep the legal ability to have it done as adults. I suggest that be the hill that you choose to defend. You'll die on the rest.

There are health benefits from circumcision where a report according to the world health organisation states that HIV is reduced by 60% for hetrosexual males. WHO | Male circumcision for HIV prevention

My suggestion is that, instead of anal sex with men or women and instead of infant mutilation, you simply practice reasonable sexual hygiene and not that of an animal.

True. Lots of people need to get it done anyway as an adult because it gets infected from conditions like diabetes. Not pretty or fun.

Please, a great many medical professionals disagree with you. A little loss of foreskin to reduce the level of stds and cancer is a bargain.

I'll decide for myself what's a bargain without someone else making the decision for me.

Not when you are a month old.

Circumcision reduces the odds of HIV infection.

That decision doesn't have to be made by the time you're 1 month old.

Last I checked, new-borns aren't having intercourse.

What a weird thing to think that a god, intelligently, and perfectly, designed a person, and we have to chop part of that perfectly designed person off while they are a baby to keep them clean and healthy.
