Breukelen advocaat, you are my hero on this issue.

To everybody who is giving him a hard time about his supposed "obsession" with the foreskin, realize that this isn't just about a penis. This is about religious dogma infiltrating every expect of our society, and when not following religious dogma makes a person an outcast (i.e. having a foreskin).

There is absolutely no medical reason for the circumcision in any case, and it is especially appalling when it is done to a child with no voice in the decision who often feels regrets for their entire life.

There are of course studies out there that say that a circumcised penis is cleaner. There are studies out there that say marijuana causes impotency and amotivational syndrome. What I mean to say is that there are studies to justify every piece of Christian Right bullshit.

Circumcision is a part of something bigger than itself. It is about the free choice of an individual and about standing up for facts, logic, and the way we were meant to be in the face of an avalanche of dogma and fear.

Just because it is your opinion it is okay, just because it is our societal standard does not make it right to mutilate a child.

And Muncheemama, you're self-righteous indignation and heated claims of "experience" over ours don't help. Being passionate about something wrong doesn't make it right. Your ridiculous claims of making parental decisions might not play out so well when your children realize that they have lost a part of themselves that they will never get back.
