DaasYochid:
My point was that the fact that in the discussion of metzitza there is one issue (the “vicious anti-MBP movement”) doesn’t mean that another issue (the context of the pro-MBP teshuvos) is not integral to the discussion.
“the “viciously pro MBP” side is defending its rights, not trampling on others’.”
Perhaps one would argue that the viciously anti-MBP movement is defending the right of the child to not have a dangerous procedure done to him.
