No more state-funded circumcision in Florida

Anonymous User writes "The state of Florida has joined 10 other states by not providing state Medicaid funds for circumcision. You can read about the issue in The St. Petersburg Times . While circumcision is an accepted practice in many religions, in the US millions of boys are circumcised without their consent for what comes down to nothing but cosmetic reasons (since medical justifications for the procedure have long been disproven). The future sexual and psychological health of these boys is risked in what amounts to a double-standard that is still permitted by American society, and in my opinion, should be stopped."
