Should circumcision be illegal?

RE: Should circumcision be illegal?
So . . .

Is God circumcised ??
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

RE: Should circumcision be illegal?
I'm thankful my parents made the call. Having it done as a baby where you don't have the anxiety pre procedure, and you won't remember it post worked out perfectly.

If I were going to be a loner in the woods jerking off or fucking squirrels, it may not matter. But dick aesthetics when you're going to be dealing with women seems more important than worrying my freedoms were infringed upon when I was 0.

I guess God must have gotten bored one day and chopped off his own foreskin but He forgot to remove it for Adam...

Not all women prefer the look of mutilated penises. Maybe in America because myths about foreskin are so widespread that they're so used to looking at mutilated penises that they don't like the look of natural penises.

And, pull your foreskin back and it looks the same anyway. And you also get more pleasure (and a lot of women like it when the man gets more pleasure).

There is obviously an evolutionary reason for why we have a foreskin.

I hope Tiberius makes it onto this thread as he's often very clear and concise in arguments (there's a reason I voted him best debater) and whilst I don't know his position on whether it should be illegal or not... I am aware that he is very pro-foreskin.

This is a super hot button topic on these forums. I don't have a strong opinion either way. I can see the argument against it as you're cutting a piece of skin off from a baby. On the other hand, circumcision does have health benefits as it helps prevent infections and the spread of STD's. It's all about whether or not you think the "evil" (cutting a piece of skin off a baby) outweighs the good (preventing future complications/infections). Whether or not it should be legal should also depend on that.

Slicing off the labia would have the same benefits for the same reasons.....and yet.

Yes, it should be illegal. It's a waste of money, and an unnecessary risk to a newborn child. Although I will say, if an adult wants to get it done to themself, go ahead. Just leave the babies alone.

It's nothing more than myths spread by religious bigots to justify immorality. And, ironically, it's actually a Jewish thing.

It wasn't initially spread by religious bigots (it was spread by a cereal and yogurt magnate.......lol).  They've just taken up the mantle for no specific reason, and even when the religious bigots officially say it's a bad idea...as the catholic church does.

It;s one of those giant "WTF?" situations.

Which is what the religious fear most.... even more than they fear their non-existent god.

Unless of course something goes wrong with the procedure, and they do major damage to the dick, or some jew with an STD sucks the blood off your dick and gives you a disease. Also what woman is going to be in love with your physique, and find your personality charming, but then you drop your pants and she calls the relationship off?
