SNIP SNIP

TO CIRCUMCISE OR NOT TO CIRCUMCISE, THAT IS THE QUESTION:

This issue, like abortion, definitely has two camps, there is no gray area.

TEAM CUT; TEAM UNCUT. Races, religions, genders have pontificated on this practice for centuries.

How do our readers feel?

A San Francisco anti-circumcision group (read: hippies) has managed to attain enough signatures to propose a ban on circumcisions on the November ballot.

Under this proposal, a lad under the age of 18 could not get THE CUT!

Legal experts, however, said even if such a measure were to pass, it would likely be quickly overturned as an unconstitutional attack on the grounds of religious freedom. Chief opponent Lloyd Schofield, 59, acknowledged circumcision is a ritual among Jews and a common practice among Muslims, but insisted it should be outlawed. "It's excruciatingly painful and permanently damaging surgery that's forced on men when they're at their weakest and most vulnerable," he said. San Francisco officials say Schofield's group submitted about 12,000 signatures supporting his proposed ban, which is more than enough to get it on the ballot in November.
