I prefer to cut the pinky finger off of infants instead. It hasn't hurt them at all not having a pinky finger, it's not the whole hand just the tip. And it's not just cosmetic because I dislike pinky fingers aesthetically, it's healthier too, do you know how many people get pinky finger infections every year?

Well, yeah. I mean, take a step back and forget about religious justifications and appeals to some nebulous 'tradition' for a moment. If I ran around and took a scalpel to the genitals of baby boys without a valid medical reason, I'd hopefully swiftly find myself locked up for a long, long time.

It should be illegal, thank goodness it’s finally being considered

I'm pissed off someone did this to me without my consent as a baby. 

'possible'

Cutting a bit from an unconsenting baby's body. It's insane.

Good. Stop mutilating babies.

I highly doubt this will happen, unfortunately.

All it takes is certain lobbyists and press saying it's anti-Semitic and/or islamophobic and it'll be dropped in a heartbeat.

Religious extremists need to join the 21st century. It angers me that we did such a great job of shifting away from the church having a stranglehold on our lives and laws, only to then accept shit like this. Freedom of religion should be about believing what you want, not doing what you want.

Fingers crossed, though.

This needs to go the way of foot binding. It's such an evil practice.

The UK possibly doing something good? What timeline is this.

I don't see how this will see the light of day given sensitivity towards Judaism at the moment. Unfortunately a lot of people think that anything which conflicts a religion has a different standard and that a little bit of abuse is then ok.
