Effort to Outlaw MGM Underway

Posted on behalf of Matthew Hess:

"I head an organization in San Diego called MGMbill.org, and our goal is to pass federal and state legislation that would amend existing female circumcision laws to make them gender neutral."

Click "Read more..." for more."Our proposed legislation is currently endorsed by eight different organizations, including the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers, Attorneys for the Rights of the Child, and the Ashley Montagu Resolution and Petition (which includes endorsements from more than 2,500 individuals, including the late Nobel Laureate Dr. Francis Crick and the late Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Dr. Jonas Salk).

I ask that organizations that would be interested in endorsing our federal and state MGM Bill proposals, which would legally protect baby boys from medically unnecessary circumcision, take action. All that would mean is that the organization's name and website link would be added to our Endorsements page, and it would not require any additional action by the group.

Our U.S. MGM Bill proposal has already found one supporter in Congress (Rep Virgil Goode), and several California legislators have indicated their willingness to sponsor a state version of the MGM Bill in California when enough endorsements are received (see http://www.mgmbill.org/govresponses.htm)."
