San Francisco Banning Circumcision?

It's ironic that this article asks, "...how do you feel about the government telling you if you can or can’t circumcise your son?" Does anyone think to ask, "How does your son feel about having a part of his genitals removed before he has time to formulate his own sexuality, decision-making ability, or language skills?"

It's time someone said it, loud and clear: that infant circumcision -- including so-called "religious" infant circumcision -- is an atrocity and a fraud; that it's a brutal, perverse, outrageous violation of a helpless human being's right to his own body; that it's child sexual abuse in its most vicious, most destructive, most cunningly disguised form; that it literally censors a child's life -- kills part of the child -- even if he never realizes it, because it severs him from a uniquely specialized, uniquely sensitive means of perceiving, experiencing, sharing and enjoying his existence; that the reasons given to justify it are myths and lies; that it's the ugliest, saddest, most sickening scandal in the history of medicine and an infamy to societies that tolerate it and to institutions that sanctify it; and that anyone involved even remotely with cutting, tearing, crushing or burning off the foreskins of babies -- or anyone else by force, coercion or deceit -- is as guilty of causing human suffering as the monsters of Auschwitz and in the name of humanity should be exposed, confronted, stopped, brought to trial, and imprisoned.

Regardless of anyone's "reason" for circumcising a baby, the fact remains that infant circumcision is foreskin amputation by force -- the deliberate, irreversible destruction of a normal, natural, functional part of someone else's body -- living, protective, erogenous tissue that is rightfully his and that he instinctively wants to keep intact -- at a time in his life when he can't understand what is being done to him -- or why -- and can't speak for or protect himself.

Infant circumcision is, in other words, human vivisection -- legalized, institutionalized, sanctified human vivisection.

Reason and attempts at persuasion will not deter those who, driven by the compulsion to destroy what they secretly envy but can never have, and desperate to make their own tortured partial penises seem normal -- and for who knows what other god-awful reasons -- persist so relentlessly in defending, promoting, misrepresenting and performing this crippling, disfiguring mutilation.

The birthright of males -- all males -- to keep all of the penis they are born with must therefore be secured by law.

it should be a felony if you seen one that was done wrong Im sure you would agree

Circumcision on an infant is absolutely mutilation. Look up the definition of the word. All claims of Health and hygiene benefits are based on pseudoscience - if you removed the entire penis you would have the most protection following their "logic". Also the foreskin is not just a flap of skin - it contains highly sensitive skin, multiple types of erotogenic tissues, arteries, blood vessels, and lymphatic systems. All in all the amputation removes close to 20,000 nerves (the clitoris has 8,000 nerves for comparison).

Your self-percieved "right" to circumcise your son denies his fundamental human right to an intact penis. Which at the age of consent he can choose to live the rest of his life intact or if he really wanted to he can circumcise himself.
