Ban-happy SF targets male circumcision
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/12/2010 | Joshua Sabatini

Posted on 11/12/2010 12:25:33 PM PST by markomalley

The Board of Supervisors just banned toys in Happy Meals, which drew worldwide attention.

Now the latest ban being proposed in San Francisco is on male circumcision.

A proposed ballot measure for the November 2011 ballot – when voters will be electing the San Francisco’s next mayor – would amend The City’s police code “to make it a misdemeanor to circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18.”

Doing so would result in a fine of up to $1,000 and up to one year in jail, according to the proposed measure submitted to the Department of Elections.

The measure was submitted by San Francisco resident Lloyd Schofield, who has spoken up on this issue in the past.

He was not immediately available for comment.

For the ordinance to make it on to the November ballot, it would require the collection of 7,168 valid signatures by April 26, 2011.

It's unknown if Schofield approached members of the Board of Supervisors asking them to vote on such a measure before deciding to take it to the voters.

If that’s the worst thing that happens to your foreskin, testicle or penis in San Francisco before you reach the age of 18, you should count yourself lucky.

Exceptions will be made for piercings, tattoos, and gender changes, of course.

I think it’s the fat content of foreskins that has them worried.

Well, the only reason the Kalifags are against circumcision
is because there is just no end to those pricks.

These same people think giving condoms to 10 year olds and abortions for them is just fine.

“to make it a misdemeanor to circumcise, excise, cut or mutilate the foreskin, testicle or penis of another person who has not attained the age of 18.”

Like the "pierce and initiate" crowd in SF is going to stop at the recognized age of 18 as adulthood.

And after age 18? Anything goes between consenting adults?

I’m betting this idea is fag oriented. It must be a gay thing. Uncircumcized penises feel bettter up the....

Forget it. Not gonna finish the thought.

This would appear to make male-to-female transgender correction surgery illegal for those under 18 in San Francisco. I wonder if they have considered that?

This measure could make abortion illegal if it’s interpreted correctly.

Notice that this sets up a sexist double standard that women can get genital piercings under 18 while men may not. The religion of pieces can also perform female circumcisions.
