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.

        Some people are born with webbed toes, we don’t cut them up because “my dad did it to me and I’m alright”.
