Female genital mutilation (FGM), is illegal because it causes numerous health complications, including death, with no benefits whatsoever.

History of FGM law in the US

Health Risks of FGM

I think that male circumcision is a choice adults should make for themselves. It's not something that should be forced on kids or babies.

I'm not convinced I want law enforcement to police parents, who want male circumcision performed on their children, when the risks, benefits, and costs are all minimal if performed by a doctor. If a parent really wants to get the procedure performed on their child, then it's better for the child that they have access to a doctor.

What's being referenced in the meme is know as Metzitzah B’peh (Direct Oral Suctioning).

This comes with obvious health risks

Having a circumcision done in this manner negates any of the minimal benefits of getting a circumcision done. The only reason to have it done this way is to fulfill a religious rite of passage and since this method can harm the child I don't see why it should be allowed.

Maybe we could properly fund our public schools and ensure people can get informed about this topic in Sex Ed, so they're less likely to want this done to their children.

It should, but it won't because every time someone tries to outlaw circumcision Jews will kvetch about it and call them a nazi
