Rightfully females, young women and girls are protected by law from all 4 classified types of genital cutting even though some cultures express it as a "religious rite" of parents to have performed on their daughters. Not extending the same protection to boys is CLEAR GENDER DISCRIMINATION and violates equal protection principles established in international law.
There can be no justification for not extending boys the same right.
Circumcision; torture and forcing genital mutilation upon little baby boys. If you did the same to girls, you'd be sent to federal prison (there are no religious exemptions).
END THIS INJUSTICE. END CIRCUMCISION OF UNCONSENTING CHILDREN.
@hudna1 Who gives a fuck, that book should have no influence on the law. Your freedom ends at your son's dick, or at least it should and if humans live long enough to see a sensible future, it certainly will.
Why is girl but not boy circumcision the government's business?
US federal law banned girl but not boy circumcision in all states. In California, it is illegal to tattoo or brand a minor, but it is legal to cut a boy's genitals with no medical justification.
Look how the Jew media twists this idea, and it is the Jew media not this puppet here.. they twist it to portray it as a goverment choice over the parent's decision..??
No! This is the child's choice over His body! Not the parent's decision to perform a cosmetic surgery on an infant... that guy is an idiot.
@G1987Jason It's best to keep the personal attacks out of this. Firstly, Granderson is not Jewish, and secondly, the vast majority of American parents who circumcise their boys are Christians, not Jews. So don't blame it on the Jews. They are only a small number of the circumcisions in the United States.
"boys can't be trusted to clean themselves"? Can't you see how blatantly sexist THAT is?
A man has a right to possess his entire sex organ for his whole life. It's his and no one else's. These questions of quantitative pleasure are irrelevant... do I need sexual value in all the nooks and crannies of my genitals to be quantified, justified and outlined in medical studies to keep a knife out of them? Can I only keep it if I can prove that it's important enough for me to have a claim to it?
this man in the video is sharing an opinion based on ignorance...if he were to study the information about MGM he's realize just how stupid he sounds. *puke*
This baby just died a few months ago in Queens NYC from genital cutting: drmomma.org/2011/05/queens-baby-dies-on-table-during . html
All these deaths and rks are COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE by keeping your kids intact and whole as they're born. This is medically unnecessary and no medical organization in the world recommends male or female infant genital cutting. Do not risk your child's life and his suffering as an adult tlctugger . com
Over 100 infants die each year from genital cutting(that's just reported, many more unreported) in JUST THE US many more worldwide: icgi.org/2010/04/infant-circumcision-causes-100-deaths-each-year-in-us/
how can you laugh at the idea of babies being cut? they get NO anesthetic and go into shock/coma from the pain!!!
were i to strap down a full grown male against his will and then cut off the most sensitive part of his body, without anesthesia all the while ignoring his protest and screaming and crying it would be called torture and human rights violation!!
YET THE SAME HAPPENS TO HUNDREDS OF BABY BOYS EVERY DAY IN AMERICA!!!
I am genitally cut and hate it. I like 200,000 other men are restoring our foreskins cause we would have said no to OUR PENIS being mutilated. Restore your foreskin: tlctugger . com
great job, mr Granderson, in deleting this same video from this morning! didn't like the comments you got? well, you should have done your homework! no medical association IN THE WORLD recommends genital cutting of neonates! NONE! There are NO health benefits! In truth circumcision can lead to a myriad of complications including DEATH!
Great job in cherry picking quotes to underscore your BIASED opinion on the subject!!
@annlittle26 Yeah what's going on, were my (and our) comments too accurate and piercing for you? I will tell you again, circumcision is a plot to make a man's head smaller than it should be so that he doesn't pose a threat to the forces of evil. Secondly, the person in this video's perceptions are changed by the fact that he has a masturbation-changed body - his right side is shrunken. I hear he is a homosexual; that will do the same thing. Youtube search "circumcision is a plot happeh."
Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of a man's penis. The five most sensitive areas of the penis are on the foreskin. The transitional region from the external to the internal foreskin is the most sensitive region of the fully intact penis, and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis.
No one who is humane defends the cutting of girls' genitalia. Cutting boys is no different. If someone want to be circumcised, they can wait until they're old enough to choose for themselves. Otherwise, unconsenting children should not have perfectly healthy parts of their bodies cut off for religion, tradition, or because someone thinks it "looks good."
What kind of complete douchebag advocates for the genital mutilation of children and slanders all men who haven't had surgically reduced genitals? A circumcised douchebag in complete denial. 100+ babies a year die from this, and countless others have their lives ruined from botch jobs. Granderson and CNN need to apologize for this, immediately.
This pseudo-intellectual is supporting genital mutilation of infants? And CNN gives him AIR TIME? It's a cult ritual which EVERYONE was against since its inception, even the ancient Greeks and Romans were appalled by it. The bible specifically states that circumcision is a covenant to GOD that you are showing your support to him (Genesis 17:11). Worse, any uncircumcised male "will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.” (Genesis 17:14)
Circumcision removes the most sensitive part of a man's penis. The five most sensitive areas of the penis are on the foreskin.

Wax can build up in the ears, lint in the belly button, 'cheese' between the toes, and shit can stick to the hairs of your asshole. guess we should remove all of these from babies upon birth to make it easier for them to keep clean. How about if female genital mutilation was removing the clitoral hood? that is the same as the foreskin. there a thousands of nerve endings that are removed by circumsision. It desensitizes the penis, same as female genital mutilation.
This is total bullshit. Now in retrospect they say it has to do with health and STD's but they have been chopping boys penises way before anyone knew what an STD was. Why not report on the ritual of the rabbi sucking the blood out of the babies penis after he cuts it. It is still done to this day and if that is not one of the sickest things a religion does, I dont know what is. I guess that Jews thik God doesnt know what he was doing and that they know better. Yeah right. Schmegmatic freaks!
When a child is born in this country they are automatically a citizen and no one citizen has the right to cause the removal of the flesh from another citizen. Keep your hands and knifes off others. Damn right BAN CIRCUMCISION.
Now, LZ you are an adult, if you decide to castrate yourself, I won't try to stop you, it's your body hack it up if you so desire, but leave the children alone.
OMG... Way to go CNN for spreading misinformation. Those studies for Stds have been determined to be inconclusive and cleaning, come on, that is easily teachable. It is like cutting off a babies ear lobe for no good reason. There has been no conclusive study that says it is more beneficial either way. This guy is not smart please stop highlighting him. Shame on you CNN have some actual standards.
@ClintSevilla LOL @ "those studies", there have literally been hundreds of them, so are you willing to sit here and say you know exactly which ones he read or that they all have been proven inconclusive ? And no, it is not the "like" cutting of an ear lobe for no reason, how you can even compare the two is beyond me..
@dsjj251 Look at American Academy of Pediatrics. There is not sufficient amount of evidence to choose either way. So basically you are choosing based on cultural or religious reasons. Again, it is like cutting something off that is basically benign, like an earlobe, which have no medical benefits or disadvantages.
Rightfully females, young women and girls are protected by law from all 4 classified types of genital cutting even though some cultures express it as a "religious rite" of parents to have performed on their daughters.
