Judge won't block New York City circumcision law

22. Wow.

This is a one-time procedure that takes at most a few seconds, and is simply a step in the procedure, like applying a topical anesthetic to the kid's penis. OMG! He's feeling the kid up!

The dangerous practice is in the specific METHOD in use here -- that is, not using a sterile tube to avoid direct contact -- and that a parent should understand the medical risk involved. That's it.

To equate this tiny step in a medical procedure to "victimized children" sexually abused by religious officials is completely disingenuous. To call this procedure a "disgusting practice" even when there are MANY non-religious parents who have this very same procedure performed in the hospital by an MD for entirely health-related reasons shows a basic bigotry to this as a "religious practice".

Get over it. Medical procedures are messy. That doesn't make them disgusting practices performed by religious pedophiles.
