Anti-Circumcision Bill Submitted to Congress

napnip writes "A group called MGMBill.org has submitted a bill to Congress to ban routine male genital mutilation. Their website is here: http://www.mgmbill.org

Any thoughts on this? Do you think there is a chance Congress will put it to a vote? Since infant girls are protected by law from genital mutilation, I feel that it's only fair that infant boys receive the same protection.

Also, is there any chance that exclusive protection of girls could be challenged as unconstitutional, since it violates the equal protection clause?"
