Circumcision and abortion

I don't see circumcision to be immoral or barbaric.  If I were to suppose why people might believe it to be barbaric, I'd say because it's a religious practice.  You don't hear much about piercing infant's ears from that crowd, then again you might.  But I never do.  How disgusted could you be about … [Read more...]
