Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document

Good, it's barbaric child abuse. No other form of permanent body modification surgery (especially to genitals!) would be allowed on infants who can't consent. An adult wants to get circumcised? Go for it. It's pretty wild that we allow it on babies that can't even speak.

As it should be.

However this practice has become deeply culturally ingrained, whether through religion or other custom, so it is going to be a hard slog to eradicate it worldwide.

I don't believe there are very many circumcision single issue voters

That's because of the IRL SCP object! Destroy it and they will soon exist in droves!

The children being mutilated are not even able to consent to practicing a religion.
