They have a cause:
Fox News: Massachusetts lawmakers are being asked to outlaw infant male circumcision. Supporters of the proposed ban describe the procedure as "unnecessary, painful and risky."Besides asking "big government" to get between you and your doctor, there are other big problems:
Georganne Chapin, executive director of the group Intact America, an organization formed to change how Americans think about neonatal male circumcision, said the procedure is also unethical because the infant cannot give his consent.
Religious groups oppose the bill, which has no religious exemption. Studies have linked circumcision to a reduction in the transmission of AIDS in Africa, but backers of the bill say that's not a good enough reason to block a ban.AIDS, no big deal. Oh, and "No Massachusetts lawmakers have signed on to support the measure."
Below right, Fox's Megyn Kelly interviews Chapin, and gets some surprizing crazy answers.

'Extra Small' Condoms for 12-Year-Old Boys Go on Sale
A leading condom manufacturer in Switzerland has created extra-small condoms for boys as young as 12 years old … The condom, called the Hotshot, was produced after family planning groups and the Swiss AIDS Federation campaigned to have the condoms made following several studies that showed adolescent boys were not using proper protection when engaging in intercourse. "The result that shocked us concerned young boys who display apparently risky behavior,” Nancy Bodmer, who headed the research, told the newspaper. “They have more of a tendency not to protect themselves.”
A standard condom has a diameter of 2 inches; the Hotshot's is 1.7 inches.
I totally agree with your post. It's time to bring male genital mutilation to an end. It's not only abuse, but a violent act against a male infant.
