'Oregon laws that forbid genital cutting of girls but stay silent on male circumcision must be expanded to equally protect all children, a new lawsuit asserts.

A father and son who were circumcised at birth decades apart, as well as two brothers whose foreskins were cut off as babies, filed the lawsuit against the state of Oregon on Thursday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.

“It is quite barbaric and strange that we in America cut non-consenting children at a very early age without any medical necessity,” said Lake Perriguey, a civil rights attorney well known for fighting to overturn Oregon’s ban on gay marriage a decade ago.'
