Why are you being so irrational in your reasoning?

Just research the origin of this practice and how it came to be embraced in the US. It's like the Covid vaccine, some kind of mass psychosis that we just do this, just because They say so. Back then we did what the doctors said without question, and they did a lot of terrible things we now view as barbaric.

I've never heard anyone complain about getting circumcised except the left when demanding that they know what's best for everyone, like they always do.
Again, for context. It is the Republicans who are inserting themselves between families and doctors.

Not mutilating the genitals of another person without their consent, would be common sense one would have thought - but then common sense does seem a dirty word these days.

And I've never had any complaints.

Where do people get this crap from??

This isn’t something bizarre or uncommon. It’s 100% legal.

Probably older than you are, but my interest in porno flicks is zero, the real thing is a lot more fun.
Tennessee location is my current, but maybe you consider Chicago and Houston backwater? (Why, oh why does it need to be explained to posters that a current location is not the sum of someone's life?)
If it makes you feel better you go ahead and believe I'm just a dumb hick without any broader life experience. I'll tell my son that all his girlfriends over the years were all just flukes.

We circumcise ritually. I am not Muslim.

It's not mutilation. It is a legitimate medical procedure.

It is now known, however, that newborns do feel pain and there is evidence that this can have physiological and behavioral consequences."

So once again the left is worried about someone else's genitals.

Anyone else seeing a pattern to this?
