Should Child Circumcision Be Allowed?

it is always so ironic to me that people that support abortion and pain for the unborn are also usually the ones most against things such as circumcision or for animal rights. I happen to be pro-life and for circumcision and support animal protection.

you can't give cancer by sexual relations *facepalm*

Actually you can. I suggest you look into counter evidence.

nope, you can't. You can give HPV, which can lead to cancer. but you can't give cancer

Well, no and yes. Certain viruses that can lead to cancer can be spread by sexual activity, for example, HPV.

yeah I'm aware of that, but it's not the cancer you give. It can happen years after, never, or 2 weeks later

So Katherine, Would it be ok then to have a doctor cut off the Labia and Clitoris?

The penis does NOT regain full function. It loses large amounts of feeling as the end of the penis rubs against the underwear. It also loses length and girth. Cutting off of the foreskin can also lead to infection in a newborn.

Partner getting Cancer? What kind of witchcraft are you talking about? Men walk around daily with cancer on their dorks, do we? If properly cleaned the uncircumcised penis is just as 'cancer free' as a circumcised one. Studies show uncircumcised men clear HPV later than circumcised men, do we?

"It's possible, they add, "that transmission of HPV to sex partners is more efficient among circumcised men because of the greater duration of their infection." However, they add, "whether circumcision is an effective means of facilitating HPV clearance has yet to be demonstrated.""

So we start ripping off foreskin on a 'maybe'? well I think that it is actually the Clitoris that causes Cervical cancer, will you be the first in line to have yours removed? Or I have a better Idea, teach your young men to practice safe sex, how to wash under their foreskin, and how to self examine for possible signs th might need a doctors care. Barbaric...

First of all, some men have lost function of their penis from complications not getting a circumcision. Second, the penis functions quite well for those who have been circumcised. There's billions of people in the word who are evidence of this in case you're under the apprehension that most people in the world are uncut. lmfao.

I understand that if you aren't reading anti-circumcision propaganda your head will explode. Circumcision reduces the risk of penile, prostate and cervical cancer. There's also, I believe, hereditary conditions in which the foreskin is unable to retract, forcing adult males to get circumcised. It's less painful and takes less time to heal the younger you are, however..

You don't even have to look far to find this by even recent studies. It's not witchcraft (that was a unique insult, lmao!) I know, we won't have our kids vaccinated either. No teeth cleaning, too.

On a personal note, I'm glad I'm of a generation where most are circumcised so I have to worry less about the men in my life giving me cancer, or having to put up with the stinky cheese of un-cut men because they have an obsession with having a bag over their penis at all times. No offense, but gross. Even WITH non-stop cleaning.

lol!

I've seen it, and I've done it. They do cry, but it's not that bad at all.

All three of my sons cried just as much from the 5 heel pokes in each one of their feet for the blood tests for retardation, diseases, etc. I guess we shouldn't have had our sons tested and just found out when they died or were put into special schools for slow kids. But, leave it to a bleeding-heart Liberal to think that stubbing your toe is worse than loosing your foot at the ankle.

I agree.

Abortion is not murder but sometimes necessary bad. fetus is not been born yet vs the baby were born.

Abortion is the murder of a pre-born baby. This is part of the development of a human being. Murdering them is never necessary.

Is it a newish leftist tactic to forget how to speak proper English?

you are talking about late abortions, which I don't agree with. Why do you talk about that ?

There's more complications from circumcision than from not having it done

We don't do it in my province, or few exceptions like jews, and guys have working penises

I've explained it to you twice now. And no, I'm not talking about "late abortions." There's almost no complications from circumcision and constant threats from going without them. Circumcised men have working penises, also, and no worry about cancer or the other dozen or so issues.

There's no proof for any benefits and there's more complications from circumcision than from not doing it

Plus, if there was health benefits to the clitoris ablation, would you agree that parents do it ? would have done it to you ? I don't think so

My body, my choice. For guys, or girls, no sexism

Circumcision is barbaric supersttion and the American Pediatric society says that there is no known medical reason for doing it except in rare cases.

You little liar.

The impact of circumcision on cervical cancer risk is less clear in the U.S. and other industrialized countries where cervical cancer screening is routine, says Anna Giuliano, MD, who chairs the department of cancer epidemiology at H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla.

But she adds that the recent research confirming circumcision’s role in reducing the risk of HIV, HPV, and other sexually transmitted diseases are strong arguments in favor of the practice.

Neither the CDC nor the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommend routine circumcision of male infants, but the groups do not discourage the practice either.

New figures from CDC released in August confirm that fewer babies in the U.S. are being circumcised. Between 2006 and 2009, the circumcision rate among male newborns declined from 56% to 33%.

Both the CDC and the AAP are reportedly considering revisions to their infant circumcision policies in light of the new research.

The CDC is also considering whether circumcision should be recommended for adult men at high risk for HIV infection, according to a statement issued in August 2009.

Gee, I'm glad we're going to have 314 million people on government-run health care soon.

Yeah, I'm so glad. too. And since I've had a circumcision AND a vasectomy, the death panel will most likely let me die and save the one who hasn't had either. I just wish I could stick around long enough to ask the Liberals that lose their wife, child, or parent, because the forces that be determine "They are too far gone for us to invest in saving their life, they won't be an asset to society even if we did save them. Just give them this RED PILL or this BLUE PILL until they die", How's that working out for you Mr. Liberal? What if that was Yo mama, Mr Obama?

yes, a baby in the womb does have a brain and can hear and even recognize its mother's voice. at vanderbilt med school, one professor thought children should be allowed to be terminated up until the age of four because it was dependent on others to meet his vital needs of feeding, drinking, bathing, clothing himself. society has been indoctrinated in focusing on side issues while lacking in core values and principles that help in making intelligent, informed decisions.

not until 14 weeks where the majority of abortions are done, and the only one I agree with

wth? against circumcisions but not abortion?

yeah, I believe being with a brains and thoughs have rights, see a problem with that?

Yeah, go figure. Sympathetic to the human that has been born, but could care less about the unborn that WOULD HAVE been a human that was born, but it was killed so that it wouldn't have to have a circumcision. It's dead, but it didn't have to cry for 5 minutes from losing a bit of skin. I'm sure it would thank her, IF IT COULD. What a way of thinking.

This ruling is wrong not only because it infringes on religious rights but because parents have the right to make reasonable decisions for their minor child. The risk of male circumcision is quite small but the health benefits are significant. Parents make these sorts of decisions for their children all the time

there's no health benefits. there's more complication from circumcision than from not doing it
Do you agree with female circumcision ? They see benefits too, to cut a clitoris

Religious rights is about the person who believes, on herself. Not about people doing stuff to others for their religion
The baby doesn't have any faith yet

There's tons of medical benefits, many have already been mentioned.

none is proven and there's more complications from it than not doing it

Some little babies even had an amputation because of it

Religious rights extend to how a parent brings up his child.

We make all sorts of decisions for children, from the mundane (when to go to bed) to the serious (will he have this operation) to the life-changing (we are moving to a different country and you, kid, are coming along).

All that can be changed in adult life is not the same as doing something that will be forever

My body, my choice

That flies in the face of the philosophy of Judaism.

If you want to do this for the gentiles, I couldn't give a hoot. But not for the Jews. Not gonna happen.

Hope it will... Hope that peoples's rights will be protected by the state

What do you think you are, gods?

I do not care what you do for yourself for your religion. I couldn't give a hoot. But not for others. Fortunately, countries are starting to ban religious freak from harming others

Actually, Jews do believe that they are commanded to do this by God.

Literally.

(I'm not talking about Gentiles, though. They can cut or not, it doen't matter to me).

I don't care what you believe, it's your belief, for your own life. Doesn't go over others people rights

Muslims also think they have the real god, anybody who is religious do

And it does not give YOU the right to tell other people what to do with their own kids.

it's not about telling people what to do with their kids. They aren't property, it's about protecting their rights

Like you are protected by the law from being killed

Sure it is. Parents have the right - in fact, the responsibility - for teaching their kids a certain set of morals.

not changing their body forever

Sure they do.
