you know the law isn't talking about that: they are talking about male circumcision and no, the government needs to stay out of crap like this.

There's no practical reason to think that surgical removal of foreskin of an infant (especially when done without anesthesia by a person without a medical degree) is any more "medical" than suturing of labia majora until marriage. The only reason why we have this double standard is because there were always far more Jews than people from North Africa in this country.

Well what possible health benefits are derived from that female mutilation that is wrong and evil. Thes are the health benefits derived from male circumcision. What are the benefits of circumcision?


[LEFT]There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:[/LEFT]
  • A decreased risk of urinary tract infections.
  • A reduced risk of sexually transmitted diseases in men.
  • Protection against penile cancer and a reduced risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners.
  • Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the *****) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the ***** and foreskin).
  • Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location).
[LEFT]Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.[/LEFT]
