Help enlighten the masses by speaking
in favour of Massachusetts Senate Bill 1777 and against infant
circumcision! Login daily
(or more often if you can) to the websites below have 'comment' sections
and NEED your input! The
alarm has been sounded on some of the pro-circ sites -- the MGM
Bill's day in the State House is truly "the shot heard 'round the
world" for intactivists!!! You can bet the people that believe
it's a parent's right to mutilate and maim their children will be
speaking out -- and those that already have harmed their children will
defend their decision, as not to admit any possible wrong doing.
I know you can't possibly reply to each and every
message, but please tick the "LIKE" or "thumbs up" buttons (or 'report
abuse' for off-topic/hurtful messages or click the "thumbs down"
button). An influential voting member
of the committee COULD be reading and may vote upon what they perceive as
"public opinion"!

so I can pass the letter onto Matthew Hess.
Also, be sure to spread this
message to your family and friends, you need not be a U.S. citizen nor a
Massachusetts resident to speak
out!!
Like I've said in several interviews: At the very least this is raising awareness
of the issue and getting parents and people to discuss it before signing consent
for a procedure that could harm their child. As for passing a law to
banish the procedure, even I said in the Worcester Telegram, “Our bill doesn’t
stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting passed”; however, criminalizing
circumcision by making it illegal (MBM Bill) is only ONE
avenue intactivists are pursuing. Others
actions include:
- Getting circumcision de-funded by many health insurance companies and Medicaid (14 states do far!)
- Educating the masses online, in print, on television, on billboards and more -- making parents aware of the consequences of their actions and making those injured by circumcision also aware.
- The pièce de résistance will take place in 2014 when males circumcised after September 30, 1996 (when the U.S. FEDERAL FGM law went into effect) will become adults. With the help of our agencies, there will be a LOT of angry, educated, circumcised 18 year old men who will sue individual States and the United States Government for not enforcing the law protecting their genitals from mutilation without gender bias under the 14th amendment to the United States Constitution. If that's not good enough, with circumcision rates estimated to go below 50% by 2014, circumcised men will become "the odd man out" and we'll see more charges of assault against doctors, hospitals, insurance companies and parents! (They love to sue in the United States.)
The saturation of information about circumcision,
as facilitated by the uncensored internet is helping to get the word out
avoiding religious/zionist censorship in the mainstream United States
media. People are learning. Comments can be seen from
people from the rest of the civilized world, calling infant circumcision
barbaric. People are questioning tradition, religion, their health care
providers and circumcision.
I can pretty much assure that there will be a
recommendation for circumcision from the CDC soon. We need to be ready for
this. It will feel to be a crushing defeat.

It is ILLEGAL in the United States
to circumcise girls. Therefore, according to the 14th amendment, boys are
guaranteed equal protection under the law. One of the problems with
that is that many people see female and male circumcision as totally different
things. Many people who view female circumcision as barbaric, but view male circumcision as perfectly acceptable.
