I've been looking at this very hard over the past few hours, wondering how to comment without upsetting our Jewish friends. My problem is that I dislike the very concept of circumcision, and I am not of a religion that feels it necessary to perform what I see as genital mutilation.
But my quarrel is not with Judaism, nor with religious ritual circumcision. I simply dislike it.
My quarrel is with the neonatal production line for profit and put of ignorance circumcision as practiced in the USA. That is somewhere that the Human RIghts Act will not reach.

Don't forget that Islam also has a pact with Abraham over cirumcision.

I dream of boys with big bulges in their trousers,
Never of girls with big bulges in their blouses.
…and look forward to meeting you in Cóito.

"Some groups are reporting circumcision as genital mutilation" reported as if that were news… and from Reuters. Perhaps only a woman reporter can sound so indifferent.
And the boys feel no pain. They're only crying and screaming from the stress.
Who do these people think we are? My first reaction was hollow laughter.

NIgel, when you and I were children the UK hospitals used to set broken arms without anaesthetic because children were smaller than adults, so felt less pain.
Children;s dentistry was done without local anaesthetic because children didn't feel pain as much as adults.
And you can hold a child down far more easily than you can hold an adult down.
Plus you don't get hurt when you hurt a child.
