Eddie, hate to be a typical ABer.. but got a link?
I found this..
"YouGov recently conducted a poll which showed that 62% of Brits would support a ban on infant circumcision in the UK. ... NHS advice on male circumcision is that “the risks associated with circumcisions when carried out by qualified and experienced doctors are small."

I wonder what % of men and women they asked.

I'm Jewish and I wouldn't circumcise a child of mine (quite a few Jewish people feel this way that I know). Mr Cal is American (very popular there) and he wouldn't either, but if it';s medically necessary then obviously that's fine.
Piercing ears is a slightly different thing, it's not inflicting a permanent deformity on a child, it's just a little hole which will heal if they ever change their minds. I had my ears pierced when I was very little and I don't feel mutilated in any way, but each to their own.

calico the things I dislike about piercing the ears of babies and children are that they have no choice in the matter, it does hurt, if only briefly and there is the risk of infection...all this and zero benefit to the child....also the holes don't necessarily heal. Mine were done around 40 years ago when I was in my twenties. I have had long periods when I didn't put earrings in over that period and the holes are still there.
If circumcision wasn't a religious ceremony it would probably be banned on the basis that it was cruel, except in circumstances where it was medically necessary. But as it is a well established religious ceremony in a well established religion or two, that won't happen.
That said, all sorts of abuses are perpetrated by parents on their children, some deliberately, some not so, some in the mistaken belief of "doing what's right", some just completely clueless. Parents are really thick sometimes, and getting their children circumcised is only one example of that. Pierced ears on babies is another example. I'm sure any of us could think back to their childhood and find something stupid their parents did that could have, or actually did, have a negative impact on the rest of their lives. Saying that circumcision is any better or worse than any of those things, and therefore does/does not warrant prosecution, would really kick the hornets' nest for a lot of people, not just parents who have their children circumcised.

True Ellipsis but having your ears pierced doesn't ruin your sex life and lead you to suicide as an adult, where as in some instances circumcision has. A few kids have also died being circumcised and I've yet to see people keeling over in Claire's Accessories when they have a piercing ( although i'm sure at least one probably has in fairness).
