One religion is given supremacy over others.

Isn't that supposed to be against your constitution?

First of all, just to be clear, I was simply providing information, not endorsing the bill or anything about it. I do not want to be associated with the legislation on either side.

As for your question, the answer is yes. However, any surprise you might express at something in the United States endorsing one religion over another or contravening the U.S. Constitution simply demonstrates that you haven't been paying attention. This is not a country of consistent application of the separation of church and state in any way, shape, or form.

Oh, I'm not surprised at all. If Sarah Palin had herself nailed to a cross while teabaggers rioted destroying statues as false idols and rounding up Atheists into giant replicas of noah's ark which deported them to Europe I don't think I'd be surprised. The only surprising thing would be if Obama didn't declare his full support for it after it had happened, despite having earlier promised to oppose such action.

I love you, Anna.

Basically, a lawsuit has been filed to block the San Francisco ballot measure from proceeding. It seems there is a state law that prevents local municipalities from restricting medical procedures.

circumsision is more of a business thing, like helping new skin for burn victims. But fuck them, right?
as mentioned, at least in the west, being uncut isn't aesthetically pleasing. let's be real, most folks don't wait until 18 to fool around and I can imagine it being horrifying for both parties involved when the guy takes it out.
I suppose they'll ban immunizations next (until the child is 18)

If doctors didn't make shedloade of money doing this op. roputine circumcision would die out. Having lost mine and seriouslly regret it, I feel for all those kids who will grow up never knowing what sex could be like.
As a blood sacrifice, The drawing blood was better than a child sacrifice! so in one way the Jews are starting to put their house in order.....It just has a long way to go. Selling infant prepuces to chemical companies to make artificial skin, it no good reason to mutilate young boys.
