Some group in SF tried to put the Circumcision ban on the ballot. The ban made no exceptions, no distinctions for groups of people who do circumcision due to religion, et. c. They called it mutilation. IIRC, only problem was the judge had ruled it couldn't be on the ballot since its in the state constitution that only the state, not cities, can decide medical procedure, law, et. c. I only guess that the gov is simply trying to appease/win some votes on this one.

Here's one of the links from the day the judge ruled against the ballot:  http://www.christiancentu...-circumcision-referendum .  You'll notice that apparently the group referred to themselves as "intactivist". smiley: eyes
