RSS FeedSmart Babies Want More, Seattle
March 6th, 2007
Apparently there is some group that goes around spreading the message that babies shouldn’t be circumcised. I’m constantly amazed how every cause, no matter how irrelevant and seemingly secondary to so many other causes, can attract followers who are willing to spend their time, money, and efforts to promote it.
Not the greatest job of vandalism anyway. With a little work they could have matched the background color, font color, and font, and have put something up that looked like it was actually part of the real sign.
One Comment so far
Actually, there are plenty of valid reasons to object to the removal of healthy, functioning genital tissue from infants; the removal of foreskin is fundamentally a religious practice that may cause psychological distress upon newborns, decrease penile sensation, and create serious complications from infection and bleeding. The RACP reports that the penis is lost in 1 in 1,000,000 circumcisions, and The American Academy of Family Physicians estimates that 1 in 500,000 infants die from circumcision every year.
