See young William Stowell and our own Dave2GA on the evening news
discussing William's lawsuit.

Ok. So where is the next segment with Timothy Johnson? he's from U of M I think and I would like to see it!

It won't load for me.

[Papai]

Great video! Dave was especially great! He was articulate and straight forward.
Mr. Stowell is a brave young man. I applaud him.

[Leta]

Wow. What a brave guy. I hope something good comes of this.

Finally saw it - great video, but I too would have liked to see Dr. Timothy Johnson's response. Great to see one of our own out there fighting!

As far as I know, he is against circ. at least to the point of saying the OB/GYNs at U of M shouldn't do them. He's written a paper on it. He says it wastes their time.

I hope he wins his case. Good Sam is in my neck of the woods.

This was great to see, really putting it out into the open for those who saw the segment. Good for them and I hope something happens because of it.

I Googled the segment, and apparently (from a review) Dr. Johnson said that there are benefits to circ, but they are very small. His POV was described as "parents make the correct choice whether they circ or not", ie. very wishy washy.

Here's the story in writing on the ABC News site.

I think it was one of our local intactivists who put it on YouTube.
Go, James, go.
Couldn't find the extra bit by Dr. Timothy Johnson. He's pretty "with it"
in general. I remember he did a very positive thing about waterbirth at one point.
