Title of the article: "Tough Choice"


I wonder if they have a discussion board?

I've made my comment

I hope they print the replies in the newspaper.

I can't read the article without subscribing.

I believe the jist of it covers Schoen's usual ranting about the 'lifetime of benefits from circumcision' etc etc etc and reasons to not circumcise are really downplayed as myths or fanatical.

I think most people having been leaving general informative comments, in the hopes that people who read the article will check out the comments and hopefully do some further research instead of just taking the original article as fact.

Bummer, I did like the fact that the teaser said that Prince William and Harry were intact.

Thanks for posting this link.
What a ridiculous article!

Read the whole discussion, though, and I've gotta say....there are certainly a lot of intactivists who responded. They're coming out of the walls or something! And what I couldn't help noticing was that the pro-circ arguments sounded so, well, dumb, while the intactivist posts just seethed with intelligence and information!!!!

[Frankly Speaking]

Schoen's publisher came there and suggested that he might come and debate. I can't imagine the pure unadulterated joy I would have as I tore him apart and embarassed him.

What we are seeing on that discussion forum is what is happening in the real world. People are turning against circumcision in droves. It helps that the newspaper is in California where they have a 20 year head start on the rest of the country about this issue.

It was also interesting that Marilyn Milos of NOCIRC showed up and posted there. She usually doesn't do that.
