The article talks about the POSSIBILITY of making a ban on circumcision. I wholeheartedly agree with a ban on any sort of circumcision, both male and female.
There are religious considerations for male circumcision, if there was a ban, it would make a lot of Jewish and Muslim people angry, they would see it as an affront against their religious beliefs.
So while I respect the 1st amendment and what it stands for, I also think that the government should protect children. I highly doubt that, if given the chance, an adult would voluntarily go through circumcision. When circumcision is done, the future adult's opinion is not taken into consideration.
Unfortunately I cannot go back to being uncircumcised, so I cannot know the difference it makes regarding sexual pleasure. But if the scientific studies are right, then I now feel like I was unnecessarily robbed of something.
I wonder how many adult exJews or exMuslims feel once they know that they have been robbed of something and that they would have made a different choice as adults?
