nationalpost: San Francisco could ban circumcisionCircumcise a child in San Francisco and you could face a year in jail, under a proposed San Francisco bylaw that will be put to voters in November.The measure was introduced on municipal ballots this week after San Francisco resident Lloyd Schofield submitted it along with a petition with more than 12,000 signatures.Mr. Schofield said: “We came at this from the angle of not having a human being strapped down and having their genitals mutilated.”“If you tried to circumcise a dog, you’d be arrested, and if you tried to circumcise a girl in America since 1996, you’d be arrested, why is it that we’re not protecting our boys?” said Marilyn Milos, an anti-circumcision campaigner based in San Francisco.

San Francisco could ban circumcision
Circumcise a child in San Francisco and you could face a year in jail, under a proposed San Francisco bylaw that will be put to voters in November.

The measure was introduced on municipal ballots this week after San Francisco resident Lloyd Schofield submitted it along with a petition with more than 12,000 signatures.

Mr. Schofield said: “We came at this from the angle of not having a human being strapped down and having their genitals mutilated.”

“If you tried to circumcise a dog, you’d be arrested, and if you tried to circumcise a girl in America since 1996, you’d be arrested, why is it that we’re not protecting our boys?” said Marilyn Milos, an anti-circumcision campaigner based in San Francisco. (Photo: Getty Images/Thinkstock)

I agree. It’s a barbaric practice and should be banned.
