SAN FRANCISCO — A group opposed to male circumcision said on Tuesday they have collected more than enough signatures to qualify a proposal to ban the practice in San Francisco as a ballot measure for November elections.

I really wish i'd known more before i had to 'make the decision' for my son.... i put that in quotes because it wasn't really a decision... it was a roll along the 'its just what you do' assembly line... I don't think it should be banned... but i'm glad its no longer recommended... and i do think people should be given good information about it before just 'going along with 'what's done''...

This is a religious issue for some people. This type of religious intolerance is typical of the left-wingers who run San Francisco and California in general...

New male babies born in San Francisco will now be able to play 'Peek-A-Boo I See You!' with their lifetime BFF.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

Hopefully, oped, with efforts at education on the subject of circumcision ongoing, we'll see a change in this tendency over the next decade, or so. It takes time to change cultural norms.

I just want to tell the people that tell me to keep my morals out of their wombs to keep their morals off my son's penis.

I'd like to see better education on it too. My mom's group has a few uncircumcised boys and all the pediatricians give out conflicting advice. It's been kind of hard to take care of them appropriately.

I babysat a newborn+++ boy that was not circumcised. It sure is hard. I follow HIV/AIDS, and circumcision has proven to be an effective help in slowing the transmission of HIV in Africa. I have 3 sons, was by chance outside the nursery (blinds drawn) when my youngest boy was getting his done... I tell you he screamed bloody murder.. nurse told me they don't like being restrained and cold.. that it was very quick and painless.. not sure how anyone could know that. Back then we just did it. But the health advantages to me are important, and my boys are glad to be "cut." This should be a personal choice, and if HIV and other fun things go up by outlawing it as inhumane-- no whining. I wonder why the libs that are okay with abortion are horrified by possibly causing a quick pain to a baby??

Passing a law that will obviously be overturned as unconstitutional seems to be a colossal waste of taxpayer time and money.

Government at the level closest to the people make the best decisions. You can always move to a different city/state. Right wing blah, blah, blah when it is the federal government in action.

I left the decision up to DH. I figured he had better insight into the issue than me.

I am following krick here .. , so what is all of a sudden the bad of this..besides the happening when one really doesn't remember it if a end of diaper is dipped into a little medicinal Manishevitz or for others , the liqueur of ones choice, and presented to the newly tip less.

I wonder why the libs that are okay with abortion are horrified by possibly causing a quick pain to a baby?? I read the link in the OP and it mentions nothing about the political affiliation of the group leading the signature drive nor the 12,000 people who signed up for the ban . Additionally you or I don't know this group's opinion on abortion based upon the information in the article. Not everyone who lives in the metropolitan San Francisco Bay area is a liberal. It's just that strange things happen in San Francisco. Some men seem to be fixated on their dicks and their lack of a foreskin. That fixation knows no political boundaries. Most circumcised men don't even give it a second thought. It's just a kooky group of men lamenting their missing hoodie. And this liberal is perfectly fine with parents making their own decisions for their male children. No skin off my ... er ... Johnson.

True, Tenn, it could be a bunch of conservatives in San Francisco..... I thought Michael Savage was the only one.... but in past conversations about this topic I clearly remember bumping heads with liberal ladies that thought I was cruel for my feelings on this. Do you remember that? But, of course, that group was in to whatever the new cause was...always.

I let my (liberal) hubby make the call on it when it came to our kiddo....and I'd let him make the call again today if we faced it again. Guess that blows the whole "libs" theories out of the water....lol

krickitt-if you ever hear any male state he remembers the pain he felt at being circumcised shortly after his birth, you have my permission to tell them they are full of crap. I did have a friend when he was in his late 20s get circumcised for health reasons. I gave him some porn mags to pass the time while he was recovering. He screamed something over the phone about broken stitches.

I don't see this as a liberal v. conservative issue. I don't see this as a religion v. medical science issue. I don't see this as a male v. female issue. I see this as proof positive that San Francisco has more people per capita who will sign ANY PETITION than pretty much any other city in the United States.

Sorry, Tenn, I HAD to... from the OP...scroll down to... www.intactamerica.org/spreadthewordthen scroll around to........... www2.democracyinaction.org/I wasn't born yesterday. Just opening the link from the OP article, I knew by the writing, and looked more until I found the Democracy Now link... which of course led me to moveon.org...LOL!! Okay, I'll stop, but it is just that these groups like this, always looking for causes, protesting, screaming and yelling.... they usually seem to trace back to moveon.org, Democracy NNow, and such very liberal organizations.
