Don't cut me bro!

Finally something smart from hippy-dippy San Francisco. Superior Court Judge Loretta Giorgi struck a measure from the city’s November ballot banning most circumcisions. The good judge said the proposed law violates the Constitution’s guarantee of religious freedom. Yes! Circumcision is right there in the bible. And that’s enough for me. Admittedly, it’s in the Old Testament, which also advocates stoning adulterers and banning the consumption of shellfish and pork. But I’m pretty sure that the bible also protects your right to bear arms, so you have to take the bad with the good. Lefty proponents for allowing San Francisco to be the first U.S. city to hold a vote on circumcision argue that it’s a form of male mutilation and is unnecessary since it is not usually performed as a “medical” procedure; the ballot measure included an exception in cases where it is needed for health reasons. I say Americans should be in charge of decisions about their own bodies. Except, of course, in case of abortion. Hey, if a child objects to being circumcised, he should speak up!
