[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I view circumcision as equivalent to the tribal facial scarring that some of the tribes in Africa do to babies when they are born.  Will it ruin the baby's life?  Absolutely not.  It is the same as FGM?  No.  But it is altering the child's body unnecessarily at a very young age, and I don't support it.  Others may see a religious or cultural benefit from it.  That's fine, I don't think it is abuse, but I do think it is a strange choice.[/quote]

Good analogy.  Except that the foreskin [b]has an important purpose [/b]and its removal has a greater impact than facial scarring.[/quote]

Listen, I'm anti-circ, and didn't do it for my boys, but let's not overstate things.  It has a purpose.  But not a particularly important one, and circ'd men (my husband included) will likely be fine.

For me, there had to be compelling evidence for me to cut my newborn son.  And there just isn't about this procedure, which does come with risks.[/quote]
