Comment on Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document
michaelmrose@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoThe cost of criminalizing it is virtually nobody does it because they don’t want to lose their license or go to jail this seems pretty cheap

Rabbis will continue to perform the surgery in secret, in the same way piercings and abortions and transgender surgery continues in the face of criminalization.

You can’t keep such secrets at scale at all. Abortions can be performed by giving someone a couple of pills whilst not being visibly pregnant and thereby avoiding life changing, ruining, or sometimes ending consequences of pregnancy.
It is damn near impossible to keep people from getting abortions because we give women so many reasons to have them. Compared to that almost all circumcisions would stop because it would be impossible to hide any substantial portion of the pop getting or giving them.
You are arguing we shouldn’t enact a policy that would end 99.9% because somewhere someone would be doing 0.1%

Literally the same thing that female genital mutilators say about their ‘cultural right’ to circumsize their daughters.
What are kids anyway in your eyes beyond property that parents should have the right to permanently brand with their mark of religion.

If you knew anything about the subject, you wouldn’t be saying this.
