'In an interview with Norwegian daily newspaper Dagbladet published today, a representative of Norway's Center Party has argued that circumcising a newborn boy for religious reasons should be made illegal.
Citing how circumcising a girl is already prohibited, justice policy spokeswoman Jenny Klinge and the Center Party — a junior member in Norway's coalition government — reportedly believe it is time to extend this law to include males.
Her comments have already caused quite a stir in Norway and abroad with doctors and politicians coming forward to express their disapproval or support for Klinge's comments.'
