French Jewish leader: ‘Banning circumcision would eliminate presence of Jewish life in Europe’

[Unome]

yup

also for muslims and others ofc.

If a teenager wants it after a certain age then that seems more reasonable; since it would be his/her choice. But babies do not have a choice.

It doesn't sound too bad to me.

Nobody is banning circumcision, but the circumcision of children. People can still modify their genitals, just not their children's. Makes perfect sense really.

I agree. Who could have anything against that? Perfectly reasonable.

It's also worth noting that Judaism survived in the Soviet Union without circumcision (most Russian Jews are intact to this day), and Theodor Herzl, the founder of Zionism, didn't cut his son.

Your right to practice your religion ends where someone else's body begins.

I am in favour of repressing religious superstitions which can cause physical distress performed on children who can't give informed consent.

We do many things to children that don't ask for their consent. Not because we hate them, but because we see it as the right thing to do. Children have to take jabs, children have to get their teeth plucked out by the dentist even though the child is practically holding your leg to avoid it. And as far as I know, circumcision doesn't really cause any harm.
