If everyone would obey God's word there would have never been any worry about STD's in the first place. God gave that commandment to Israel to set them apart from the rest of the people of that time. it is not a requirement of Christianity, nor the God who made salvation possible.

Nor take their lives will in the womb.

Sure, less STDs if you remove the foreskin... but remove someone's feet and they can't get infected toes either.....
Using condoms is always an infinitely healthier option.
And there just is no possible way to morally justify mutilating someone's body parts without their consent unless it is absolutely medically necessary. Which it isn't.
I find it ironic that Christians who believe God made man in his own perfect image also think that some part needs to be removed!
It did then and does today,even though we are usually more cleanly now.
Red bold by me, obeying God's word would be the greater option for health.
Blue bold by me, God is not a physical being and that should be enough said about that. The reason God gave the commandment to Israel was to show them a separate people of the rest of the Middle Eastern people and like I said that was a healthier thing then and why because people did not keep God's word.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
