    cannot consent, hell in some cases cannot talk yet because too young

    Again, people get their baby’s ears pierced all the time. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg on parent approved medical procedures. If circumcision upsets you, how do you feel about ear tubes, tonsillectomies, and cleft pallet repair?

    I agree about the black market but perfect is the enemy of good?

    I would say the cost of criminalization far outweighs the benefit.

      People should not be piercing their baby’s ears too. Neat that you used the same argument Republicans use use against gay marriage. We don’t see your kind here to often.

        People shouldn’t be arrested for piercing a babies ears either.

        Having the police kick down your door and drag you to a cell over this shit is not an improved outcome

          You are truly sick with how much it’s important for you to chop off babies dicks. You are defending a barbaric stupid meaningless ritual with such ridiculous arguments, why?

          Having children ears pierced should also be criminal, but at least with ear piercing it doesn’t do any damage and can be removed later, as opposed to having their genitals mutallated by a religious nutjob for nothing.

          Fact is, this would die out if not forced on helpless babies at 8 days old because no sane person would want to inflict this on their body unless theres a very good medical reason (which there is none for most of people).

          All the examples you gave stem out from the person’s own decision or due to medical necessity.

          I would argue that people who support this fucked up ritual should also be criminalized.

            how much it’s important for you to chop off babies dicks.

            It’s sick to arrest people. The entire criminal justice system in the UK is a nightmare of abuse and neglect.

            Anyone who would advocate finding new reasons to expose more people to it is deranged. Anything you think you’re protecting people from pales in comparison to expanding the scope of your miserable fascist police state

      The cost of criminalizing it is virtually nobody does it because they don’t want to lose their license or go to jail this seems pretty cheap

        Rabbis will continue to perform the surgery in secret, in the same way piercings and abortions and transgender surgery continues in the face of criminalization.
