IF IT'S A BOY...

I had a huge fight with the mother of my first son.

I wanted him circumcised - to look like me.

I'm glad I lost that argument.

I WROTE:

I am not engaging in hyperbole.

DAVID Z REPLIED:

"Yes, you are...You see, I was one of the many 'abused' babies you
claim to be
defending.  And I speak for most, if not all, of us when I say ---
shove
your hyperbole up your a.s with the rest of the crap you so
generously
spew on the Internet..."

David Z,

Thank you for your continued response, pejorative as it is.

Actually we were all mutilated - amid screams of protest.

Yes - the ripping and slicing is a mutilation.  See the quotes below.

We have forgotten the experience - at least we have no conscious
recollection - I don't at least...

I'VE PREVIOUSLY NOTED ON USENET...

I very much wanted my eldest son circumcised - had a HUGE fight with
his
mother - which fortunately I lost...

I consider my circumcised penis normal - not mutilated - but in
fact it *was* mutilated...

Encyclopedias use the term "mutilation" to describe circumcision.  
Here are
some exact quotes:

"Thus in Hebrew history the mutilation of Abraham is the beginning of
a
religious rite which has continued...

"...[R]eligious mutilations are personal and voluntary in
contradistinction to savage practice, where mutilations are imposed
by
compulsion upon conquered enemies or enslaved peoples or persons..."
["[E]very man purchased with money of yours
must without fail get circumcised..." [Genesis 17:13] - TDG]
[Gomme L. Mutilation.  In Hastings J (ed). Encyclopaedia of Religion
and
Ethics. Vol. IX NY: Charles Scribner's Sons 1922:62-3]

"Mutilations of the sexual organs are more ethnically important than
any...The most important, circumcision (q.v.), has been transformed
into
a religious rite...."
[Mutilation. The Encyclopaedia Britannica. Vol. XIX, Cambridge,
England:
University Press 1911:99-100]

"[C]ircumcision is one of the procedures by which an individual is
initiated into a new social role at puberty.  Initiation rites may
include ordeals involving other forms of mutilation...."
[Mutilation. The Encyclopedia Americana. Vol. 19, Danbury, CT:
Grolier
Inc. 1992:681]

Call it mutilation - or circumcision - it is a FACT that healthy
functional tissue was amputated amid obvious MD lies.

I don't consciously remember being circumcised/mutilated; but having
viewed a video there is no question in my mind that it is child abuse
-
indeed - "barbaric" is the word used by some nurses (see below).

A former NO CIRC Board Member is so revulsed by the NO CIRC
conference video that she watched it only once - and she couldn't
finish watching it.

When video footage of the mutilation is shown on
television, people are warned that it is not for the squeamish - yet
the tiniest humans are forced to endure it - THOUSANDS per day!

Here are some remarks from medical personnel...

"After years of strapping babies down for this brutal procedure and
listening to their screams, we couldn't take it any
longer." [Sperlich
BK, Conant M. Am J Nurs (Jun)1994:16. http://www.cirp.org/nrc/]

"Nursing alert...[N]urses must consider their participation in a
surgical procedure that involves no anesthesia to be a barbaric
practice." (p. 205) Donna L. Wong's Essentials of
Pediatric Nursing [1997]

"[S]till all too often barbaric...[M.D.s]...would never allow older
children
or
adults to be subjected to such practices, nor would they submit to it
themselves..." [Veteran circumcision cheerleader Colonel Thomas E.
Wiswell,
MD in article in the April 24, 1997 New England Journal of
Medicine]

Routine infant circumcision is child abuse of the grossest sort - and
occasionally it escalates to criminally negligent homicide - some
babies die.

TODD REMARKS FURTHER TO DAVID Z...

David Z,

I will not likely convince you that babies should not be

Perhaps though some mothers-to-be and fathers-to-be will read what I
write in response to you and not allow MDs to rip and slice their
infant boys' penises...

To that end - for them - here is what you snipped...

The practice of ripping foreskin from glans is called "freeing
adhesions" - as in, "freeing
adhesions, is tantamount to cruel and unusual punishment and is
unfounded
physiologically and medically." [Kaplan GW: Circumcision: An
overview.
Current Problems in Pediatrics, 1977;7(5):8]

Check out this photo of a baby having his foreskin ripped from his
glans...

A group of nurses finally refused to participate:

"After years of strapping babies down for this brutal procedure and
listening to their screams, we couldn't take it any
longer." [Sperlich
BK,
Conant M. Am J Nurs (Jun)1994:16.]

Sometimes it is good to simply ask for evidence rather than
immediately pejorizing another's information as "excrement."

PS  BTW, in late 1987, after I exposed American MDs perpetuating
phony
"babies can't feel pain" neurology, I called for an end to the
obvious
mass child abuse and petitioned Congress for a religious exemption
from the
child abuse statutes for the ancient Jewish ritual that leaves most
of
the
foreskin on the penis.

In the January 1988 issue of Pediatrics, the AAP leaned on the Jews
and
declared war on all religious exemptions to the child abuse statutes.

AAP members were to "vigorously oppose in the legislatures," all
present
and proposed religious exemptions; and they were to "defend the
rights
of all children to the protection and benefits of the law...".

(Translation: a religious circumcision exemption from the child abuse
laws means medical circumcision is indeed child abuse; therefore we
M.D.s must now restate our long-standing opposition to religious
exemptions.  If we are prosecuted, the rabbis and mohelim are going
down
with us.)

In the February 1988 issue of Pediatrics, the AAP recommended
anonymity
for perpetrators of child abuse:  "The American Academy of Pediatrics
recommends that all states adopt laws forbidding public
disclosure...of
information that identifies victims of child abuse, their families,
AND
PERPETRATORS [emphasis added]."

As always, I am in favor of pardons in advance for MDs.  As medical
students, MDs are TRAINED to perform obvious felonies.

MD-obstetricians are senselessly closing birth canals up to 30% -
senselessly KEEPING birth canals closed the "extra" up to 30% - then
slicing vaginas - surgically/fraudulently indicating they are doing
everything possible to open the birth canal - even as they keep it
closed the "extra" up to 30%.

MD-obstetrician experts are lying to cover-up.

For the Four OB Cover-up Lies (they are whoppers) - and for other
rather obvious MD crimes...

NOTE:  The MD crimes are ongoing because law enforcement is looking
the other way - and MDs know it.

Steve Harris, MD arrogantly boasts:

"Without enforcement, there is no law. Without law, there is no
crime.
These are elementary principles. Get an adult to explain them to
you."
