Jewish babies are circumcised when they are 8 days old. How do you get STD from an 8 year old?
Christian circumcision is not a thing.
Circumcision is kinda weird too. Maybe we could just stop the entire practice?

He is referring to specific ultra-orthodox sects of Judaism in which a mohel will use his mouth to suction away blood after skin removal. There have been reports of infants being infected with HSV-1 (coldsore herpes) in this way.
Its not mainstream or common, but it is unhygienic and definitely something that should be discontinued.

This is an anti semitic comment. You basically agreed with Hitler. He wanted to stop the circumcision too. Why do you agree with Hitler

Id like that, but its too common to ban and incarcerate, just reduce it and penalize circumsision with a $500 fine; Jews and Gentiles held to the same standard.
I dont think it is necessary to penalize. As much as I disapprove of the procedure, there should be exceptions and it should ultimately be up to the parent or of-age patient.
I'd just like to see major medical organizations being more direct about the procedure rather than hiding behind carefully worded statements. I mean, the official position of the American Academy of Pediatrics is "the benefits outweigh the risks", but where there are good hygiene standards the benefits are negligible. The 'benefit' is reducing the chance of UTI from 1% to .1% and the 'risks' do not take into account disfigurement of a patient who cannot consent.

Meh. It not about being nicer, its about what works better. Force addresses actions in the short term, but not the underlying ignorance, ideology, etc. Force will never eradicate circumcision.

Not just force. Don't forget the gulags and entire property taken. State needs to profit.
I accepted your debate - we can hash it out there. 😃

The S is irrelevant as micro-organisms exist irrespective of sex...Even so, ritual circumcision is a perverse sexually inspired act of child abuse.
It’s a very short surgery.

Yep, there are lot's of things that can be done in a short amount of time, like killing someone or a quick grope or stealing your iPhone...But does the shortness justify the act.
It leaves less discomfort on the child.
