Check out the disturbing literature being distributed by the guy who authored the referendum which will be voted on in November.

"San Francisco's anti-circumcision measure will be decided by voters in November, but the literature for the movement aims to sway them with some disturbing images -- including dark, evil-looking rabbis and a blonde superhero saving babies from their clutches."
"The star cover image of his comic book shows a dark, bearded rabbi looming over a naked baby laying on a pool table, as a superheo appears ready to save the child"

When the US banned female circumcision a few years back, was that anti-Islamic?

Did it come with a comic book filled with anti-Muslim imagery?

Hmm?

I believe people have certain unalienable rights. One of the most fundamentally important of these rights is the right to have control over one's own body - especially its physical intactness.

I can't understand for the life of me why anyone believes it's a parent's "right" to cut off perfectly functional and healthy parts of their children's bodies - be it for an aesthetic reason or because they believe doing so will favor curry with some deity. If someone, even a parent, is hellbent on violating the fundamental rights of a small boy, then I think it's our duty as a society (via our government) to protect that man's rights. I fully support this mens' rights initiative.
