Intactivism update

I haven't forgotten that I hate circumcision. I just haven't been a frequent blogger. I still read everything that comes up online. There are a few good recent posts out there. I find some of them by just searching "circumcision" on blogsearch.google.com. Rolling Doughnut is a favorite spot that I go back to time and again.

Is Promoting Male Circumcision as Prevention ethical?
If circumcision was virtually unknown in the United States as it is in other areas around the Globe, we would not be having this debate.



Religion by Scapel is not a Parental Right
If it's wrong for parents to mutilate a child for no good reason, and it unequivocally is, permitting an exception for parents to mutilate their children because their god says they must mutilate their children only legalizes no good reason.


Awhile back (longer than a fullterm pregnancy) I had a karma explosion at reddit.com when I submitted a story here about Denmark debating outlawing male circumcision on minors.

I failed to stop my brother from circumcising my nephew. My sister doesn't have any kids yet, but she's married now. I know I should probably be working on bringing her over to my camp, but she just rolls her eyes and calls me things like "obsessed" whenever I bring it up. Yeah, discovering you're missing half of the skin off your dick and that the rest of the world enjoys having it might do that to you..
