Civil rights advocates have gotten the signatures to get it on the ballot.
No circumcision until your 18..it's a human rights issue and should not be forced on babies.
If caught it's $1000 and one year in jail.
The Jewish community is upset naturally. Circumcision is part of their religion.
And your right if a parent wants his or her child to have an circumcision I see no reason why the parent's wishes shouldn' t be granted.
Why should a parent have the right to permanently remove perfectly normal, healthy, and functioning parts of their childrens' bodies? What body parts should parents be allowed to have removed from their children, and what body parts are off limits?

[sarcasm] yeah, legislation through popularity[/sarcasm]
The petition will fail as its a violation of Constitutional Rights to excerise a religious belief
I'm all for circumcision and will have it done to my son, if I ever have one.
Totally. It's an absolute travesty that the US has a federal ban making it illegal to have your daughter circumcised. Who is the government to tell me I can't have my daughter's clitoris removed to please my God??? The assault on religion must end.
BTW, men with circumcised penises are far more attractive and enticing than those who have not been snipped. Sorry, but uncircumcised men gives me the heebie jeebies.
Can parents consent to plastic surgery for their minor children, elective or not?
Yes, they can.
Case closed.
As a parent can I (or more importantly should I be allowed to) have my infant son's nipples removed?
As a parent can I (or more importantly should I be allowed to) have my infant son's pinky toes removed?
As a parent can I (or more importantly should I be allowed to) have my infant son's earlobes removed?
How about something more substantial like a hand?
It's my body. It's my nipple, it's my toe, it's my earlobe, it's my hand, it's my foreskin. Why should anyone other than me have the "right" to permanently remove it from my body?
