In the up coming issue of Mother Jones

Overall I thought it was pretty good.

I though t it was pretty good, too, although I hate to hear foreskin referred to as a flap.

It makes it sound like an overweight person, who's lost a large amount of weight and has loose folds of skin. Y'know? As if foreskin is an inconsequential excess.

All in all I think it gave the thinking person, something to think about.

Yep, at first glance I wasn't sure but I liked how it went over all. It put the weight of the "potential benefits" appropriately, little bearing on the US. It touched on the consequences even quoting that actor, and the parents ended up making the right "choice" for the right reasons.

Thanks for sharing. I like the ending particularly. Actually this is one of the more balanced articles I have seen.

I got nervous there in the middle, but in the end it was great. Sending it to my sister who is trying to convince her hubby now.
