Therefore, after over 20 years of embarrassed debate, lawmakers in California and Washington DC have recently passed laws making the genital mutilation of female humans under the age of 18 a felony. Our lumpen lawmakers should reread the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of our Constitution. Because, without any rational basis for this blatant gender discrimination, male American babies continue to routinely suffer from needless amputation of parts of their penises at birth with still no legal protection from their torturers. Whether done by a delivery room doctor or a religious practitioner, such as a Moil, medically unnecessary circumcision of minors, male or female, is nothing more or less than a traditional sounding euphemism for institutionalized child sexual abuse and is a clear violation of fundamental human rights. The issue is sovereignty.
Circumcision is medically unjustified penis reduction surgery.
Among western industrialized nations America stands alone in continuing this primitive ritualistic practice of genital mutilation. Europeans consider it barbaric. It is forced radical surgery, without consent, on a helpless little victim. It is an excruciatingly painful and crippling partial amputation of the infants penis which frequently results in immediate and serious complications and always results in permanent disfigurement and long term physical and emotional debilitation and suffering. Worldwide hundreds of babies die annually in terror from shock and from infections or loss of blood resulting from this senseless barbarity.
