Why this petition matters

Started by Amy McInerney

Babies, toddlers and young boys should have a right over their own bodies. Circumcision unless for medical reasons should not be allowed. It is abuse. Imagine making girls have their labia surgically altered at birth because the parents wanted it done. It wouldn’t happen would it? So why do we allow it to happen to our boys. It is painful, unnecessary and wrong on all levels. Babies and young children have rights just as much as adults! 

Circumcision reduces sexual pleasure later in life, because thousand of nerve endings are cut off.. Why is this barbaric practice still allowed to take place?? This started in the Bronze Age so why now in 2020 are we still cutting bits off newborn babies and children? There are no significant health benefits and doctors should not be allowed to do this.. They are causing unnecessary harm to babies and children for the parents pleasure! 

 Help me fight this to make a change, a change that desperately needs to be made.
