[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering it prevents stds, hiv, utis, cancer then you should be able to get one by stating the above rather than religious reasoning.[/quote]

What a dangerous thing to say!  So no condoms necessary, as long as our sons are circumcised they won't contract HIV or other STDs??? Uh, NO.[/quote]

That was my thought. It "prevents" all these things? No, it doesn't.[/quote]

I'm amazed at the ignorance here.  There's not such thing as 100% prevention (even with condoms won't do this) but circumcision does significantly reduce the transmission of a number of diseases and viruses that cause other diseases.  http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/circumcision.htm .  Pain isn't a sufficient reason to avoid circumcision.  There are many numbing medicines available to ease the pain and, of course, vaccines cause pain as well.  Also, with anything, there are risks and potential negative reactions.  That is, again, insufficient reason to avoid it.  You need to make an informed decision.

I'm horrified that some are equating male circumcision with female genital mutilation.  There is absolutely no comparison.  The practices are conducted for opposite reasons and continuing to compare them diminishes the horrific consequences of gential mutiliation.  Shame on you.[/quote]

If there is no 100% prevention, then stop saying that circumcision prevents STDs and HIV.  It does no such thing.  Shame on you.[/quote]
