And he western Christians that do it due to health benefits do it because of misinformation and tradition(mostly Americans continuing what the military forced on them) of the past.
Religious rights of the Parents < Religious and Bodily rights of the Child
Besides, I don't believe that a harmless procedure such as circumcision shoud be filed as an assault on the bodily rights of a child, whatsoever.
But it's your call, of course. Such bans are ineffective, and will not hinder anyone from seeking a hospital which provides this procedure elsewhere.
The only person misinformed about health is you, Mehmet. It's been proven time and again that circumcision has no benefit to health; the studies regarding HIV were improperly done and have been invalidated.
Nobody has a right to mutilate a child's body. Circumcision is a cultural issue that needs to be excised from modern society.
