I wouldn’t have known what this meant without explanation. I kept thinking it was somehow about abortion, yuck.

When you’re dating a Jewish boy, you really don’t have much of a say….oddly enough I wrote about circumcision on my blog today, because of an argument on facebook about it.

Actually, if you think about it, this shirt will help to bring up the conversation. I certainly don’t want my future baby boy to be mutilated!

There’s no medical reason to get a circumcision unless the foreskin is too tight, but that should only come up as a problem much later and can be relieved by stretching exorcises. It does not cause a urinary track infection, if it had, then why the hell would nature give us one? The penis is meant to be a sort of internal organ, protected by the foreskin.

they really use that tiny bit of skin off an infant for skin donation? I doubt it. There’s a much better source of lots more skin– obese people who have either lost weight on their own or have had gastric bypass surgery.

And I once was asked to help change the diaper of a baby who was circumcised… at that moment although I’d already decided that I could never circumcise because of the human rights issues and the effect on the boy… I’m pretty sure I could never handle it as a mother either. Of course that particular child was the fifth son of what I think is a quiverful family and his wound really hadn’t been treated like anything out of the ordinary and his harried mother I think left him in dirty diapers for far too long because of the older children… but still! It was horrible.

Skin grafts for burn victims doesn’t justify brutally mutilating a baby. It is a barbaric and painful procedure. It is also a money maker for hospitals. Which obviously gives them plently of incentive to continue performing the procedure.

Most people are disgusted by female genital mutilation, but they most likely, at the same time, support male genital mutilation. They just call in circumcision instead.

What if we call it organ donation? Infant foreskins are used in skin grafts for burn victims.

At first, I thought this was a sick joke. I mean, I started to get nauseated. I totally wouldn’t get the sense, without your explanation, that the shirt had something to do with circumcision.

Well I guess that's great so long as she isn't bringing the whole baby in a sandwich.
