April 27, 2011. "A group opposed to male circumcision said on Tuesday they have collected more than enough signatures to qualify a proposal to ban the practice in San Francisco as a ballot measure for November elections." That is correct. Schofield, a man in San Francisco has started a petition against circumcision, citing it as an "excruciatingly painful and permanently damaging surgery that's forced on men when they're at their weakest and most vulnerable". However, a lack of medical evidence proving it as harmful would cite the ban as "as interfering with religious practices".
Other sources used in that article, then, informed the reader of the unconstitutionality in regards to the first amendment discussing freedom of religion. Many of the men that are being circumcised as children are Muslim or Jewish and are obliged to follow through with the procedure as a part of their customs. Yet, Schofield found his ban reasonable as it prevented the pain men experienced as infants. He proposed one year in jail and a $1000 fine served as punishment for parents that circumcised their kids under the age of 18. In my opinion, and to keep it short, I find the man and his ban to be completely absurd. He shouldn't rid of circumcision for others because he doesnt approve of it. If he's against it, then he needs to make sure he doesn't do it to his own kids when the time comes. Period.
