Circumcision in not medically necessary. Why is the court forcing her to go along with the wish of the father ? Since she is the mother, she has as much of a say (and I would argue more of a say since she is the one who gave birth to the kid) as the father in this matter. If they cant agree on it, them the kid should not be circumcised.

I view this as the court imposing a medical procedure on a kid and this is really worrysome of you recall the horrors of the 40's and 50's (forced lobotomies and such for people who were deemed mentally ill, look up Walter Freeman).
