Was just talking at dinner with family, and it seems a logical action to ban circumcision, as in most cases, doesn’t have consent, and is a major (genitals are important) body modification. Can we ban it at the state level? Just a thought.

Calling it cosmetic is a fallacy. Do you think parents like wiping pee out of the foreskin after every time their uncircumcised infant boy pees? Do you think 100% of parents do it consistently? Do you think boys deserve the inevitable irritation when it is not done?
What is the worse move, ethically: one procedure to eliminate that problem forever, or condemning your child to years of irritated foreskin until they’re able to pull it up?
Do you think parents also enjoy wiping baby butts and cleaning up vomit and other bodily functions of babies? It’s part of infant care and millions of people are able to accomplish this with no reason to surgically remove part of their babies body.
So let’s make it harder for them?
