Wow. Are the libs in the federal government going to follow? Just another example of the left infringing on our rights.
your thoughts?
It’s just further proof that a lot of liberals are against any and all religious practices… circumcision is most often used in Jewish and Muslim families.
I think it’s up to the family as to what they want to do… I’ve actually heard that there are some health benefits to circumcision.
First ammendment, anyone?

It’s the parent’s decision to get a circumcision for their child, not up to the government.

Your attempt to make libs seem as the "infringers of your rights" fails. As the article says, no Massachusetts lawmakers have signed on their support of the bill and the bill wasn’t brought about by any of the congressmen. It’s actually the executive director of Intact America that is interested in the bill. So, big fail and a far stretch, but we all know you were hoping it was true.

Well, I hope that bill gets passed! (It won’t, though.)
"Infringing on our rights." Uhm, okay, by circumcising your son you’re infringing on HIS rights. His body, his choice on whether he wants a part of HIS penis removed. Just because the parent may be for circumcision, does not mean the boy will be as a man. The decision should be left up to him to make for himself when he is older because he’s the one who’s going to be using his penis for the rest of his life. Only in leaving him intact (not circumcised) can he have that choice. Because a circumcision can never be undone.
And that’s what this law is all about. Protecting minors from non-therapuetic, cosmetic surgery when they can’t consent to it. It’s about giving control back to men in what they want for their OWN bodies, not what someone else wants for their body. No one has the right to force cosmetic surgery on someone else’s body, and there is no justification for circumcision.
I think it’s about time we stopped cutting off perfectly healthy bits off our perfectly healthy babies. The more you learn about circumcision, the more you research it - the more barbaric it all seems. Little boys are born perfect and DON’T need their bodies altered.
Most people don’t know it but - circumcision is an unnecessary, painful surgery that removes a functioning part of the body…it’s unethical because it’s done without the consent of the invidivual (whose body, whose rights?)…and the high, high majority of the world does not circumcise. Time America got with it and followed suit.
You asked my thoughts. These are my thoughts.

They are NOT "CONSIDERING" a bill, m’dear… READ the WHOLE article… it ends with:
No Massachusetts lawmakers have signed on to support the measure.
JUST because some idiotic libbie radical "asks" a state legislature to "consider" some idea does not mean it’s automatically up for a vote on the legislature’s floor!
There will ALWAYS be nutjobs trying to limit what we have a right to do/say. That doesn’t mean the gooberment automatically kowtows to them, bends over and kisses their… well… anyhow…
1. REPEAL the 16th Amendment!!
2. Those who voted for Obamamama… YOU OWE US!
Republican since before she was born… and PROUD of it.

Making infant circumcision illegal is not infringing upon anyones rights it’s PROTECTING rights. Parents never had a right to force a cosmetic surgery on their child in the first place, and since the childs bodily rights are being violated the law should come in an protect that.
I am against minor circs., however I don’t believe circumcision should be banned at a state level, it should be banned in hospitals. Allowing those who do it for religious reasons to do it with a Mohel in their church or home. However the rights of minors are being violated and therefore action needs to be taken to stop it.
I know I sure as hell didn’t appreciate my parents having me cut against my will. It has no medical benifits, greatly decreases pleasure for the male making sex, orgasms, and masturbation much less enjoyable and it also increases the likelyhood of sexual dysfunction.
Id rather have a whole penis thanks and that’s my God given right to have if I chose.
Every man has the right to chose what they want in that area for themselves, no matter what that choice is.

I am getting damn tired of someone or another infringing on my rights, first it was my folks and some damn "dr" that chopped off part of my penis and from there is has been just more of the same.
Parent hood is not a property right it is a custodial duty, custodians do not redesign the buildings they maintain. They just take care of them by doing what is necessary. Male genital mutilation is not necessary.
