"My baby my choice"

F off to her I say.

The baby's body, his choice.

Parents don't own their children's bodies. Once he is able to make his own decisions based on the evidence, he can choose to snip or not to snip.

Would women do the equivalent to their girls ? I think not.

If there's a medical need then it can be done as an adult. It doesn't hurt that much (trust me, I know.... done for medical reasons as an adult). Seriously, there's plenty of things which cause more pain - burns, falling off bikes, hangovers, headaches and so on. Circumcision is a long way down the list there.

If we're going to do it to young children, then we may as well amputate a leg, give them a heart by-pass and rip their teeth out while we're at it. Efficiency there, get it all over and done with in one go.
