Seems like a symbolic issue for dogmatic secularists and people who view it as something that looks ugly and is done by "the other" (Jews/Muslims), while not reflecting whenever ear rings on little kids is any more natural of course. There's absolutely no proof of circumcision being harmful in any way, rather the opposite.
The day parents start forcing earrings on children or piercing newborns I will argue for banning it. Luckily, that is not the case.
Furthermore, earrings don't remove nerve endings from a bodypart that is supposed to be sensitive to touch and they don't remove a natural moisturizer from a bodypart that is supposed to be moist. Unlike circumcisions they are also fully reversible.
Finally, the supposed benefits of circumcision are absolute horseshit. STD prevention? You shouldn't be fucking random strangers anyway and certainly not without a condom. Hygiene? Teach your kids to use a shower instead, pig. Phimosis? That's like preemptively removing someone's toenails at birth because they might get onychocryptosis.
We recognize it as a crime to perform a circumcision on an unwilling adult, so why would it be less of a crime to do it to a baby?
It's a barbaric practice that has no place in a nordic society. If jews and muslims think it's so central to their identity, they can go and live somewhere else. I don't really care if they do it to their own children - that's ultimately outside of our control, but I don't want this vile custom to spread to our kind, and I hope the Americans will eventually rid themselves of it. That's why it needs to be banned in the West.
I have high hopes that Iceland will actually push this bill through. They are a proud people not known for cucking.
I also have to say that it's funny when jews argue that circumcision is completely benign and that newborns won't remember it or suffer any trauma from it. If that is the case, what exactly is the symbolic value of sacrificing the foreskin to make a covenant with god? How is it a sacrifice at all? And what is the point of a sacrifice that isn't voluntary? How can a covenant be based on something that was done to you at an age where you had no understanding of it and which (as they argue) you don't even remember at all?
If they instead self-circumcised at, say, the onset of puberty, I could at least have some respect for them.
By the way, the one and only jewish friend I have is also anti-circumcision. Go figure.
