Completely bat**** mental court circumcision ruling

[rah]

My biggest problem with this is that the boys 4 years old now.
Don't worry son, we're just going to trim your pee pee. It won't hurt.

contract law supersedes sense in a lot of cases. She signed a parental contract that allowed for circumcision and then changed her mind. The father wanted it to be done. While I'm not privy to her reasoning, it seems like this is spiteful control at play, not looking out for her son's pecker.

Exactly so.

[-Jrabbit]

I'm thinking that "spiteful control" is a two-way street in this case.

If the father cared about his son, I doubt this would be his course of action.

Still, at least I found a minor LOL in the story:

She has been in Broward County Jail on charges including interference with custody and writ of bodily attachment...

I mean, srsly? I'm thinking the reporter took liberties, as I'm pretty sure "writs" are not "charges"...

You can't apply contract law in this case, because the party bearing the onerous duty wasn't a party to the contract. And trying to apply contract law to medical consent is ragingly stupid, because you can withdraw consent at any point.

[Thoth]

infant circumcision ought to be banned, except in cases of medical necessity.

This.

It's a barbaric practice that should have been outlawed decades ago.

Sorry captain foreskin, y'all are the bar bars

You guys must smell amazing. I'm sure the ladies love it too

[kentonio]

taking a bath versus being savagely mutilated for life.

it's these hard decisions that plague the best of us

[N35t0r]

Yeah.

Also, it's movable, so you can pull it back when needed. #Bestofbothworlds

All I have to say on this subject is that everyone I've ever met in real life who has cared one iota about the banning circumcision thing has been gay.

In America it's normal to cut off part of your infant son's penis
