Recent studies have indicated that circumcision rates in the US are dropping fast. I think its now around 50% of babies are circ’ed.
Second, there are a few hundred babies who die each year due to complications with circumcisions. You think that’s minor?
And the benefits to routine circumcision are extremely small, the AAP has put out a statement for over ten years now that routine circumcision isn’t recommended.
Don’t pretend like this is all anti-semitism. I have (non-Jewish) friends who are really anti-circ’ing boys but don’t want to legislate it.
Now, I don’t support this legislation at all. But I do want to remind those of you who support vandalism from frum people that you can’t selectively ask for laws to apply to you.
