New York wants to ban Jewish circumcision ritual because it causes fatal HERPES in babies

A controversial Jewish circumcision practice in which the blood of a baby's cut penis is sucked by a religious leader has been condemned after the deaths of two infants.

The 'metzitzah b'peh' performed by ultra Orthodox Jews sees the eight-day old baby have a traditional circumcision but the 'mohel' then places his mouth around the wound and sucks up the blood.

"the wound," yeah right.

I wonder if it occurred to them that sucking on the "wound" might put the baby at risk of becoming gay.

I bet Sandusky would make a wonderful mohel. He cares so deeply for wounded children.

Being gay is a choice. You can't turn someone gay by sucking on their willy - no matter how much they enjoy it.

Anyway, why are they focusing only on this particular circumcision ritual?

Sounds to me like they just find the idea of a grown man sucking on a baby boy's winkle to be gross and that's the cause for their objection. The actual risk to these babies can't be the issue, otherwise why not ban all infant circumcision where there is no medical necessity to the operation? Hell, a baby in London died from a complication arising from a medically unnecessary circumcision just the other week-http://circumstitionsnews.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/london-baby-bleeds-to-death-two-days.html
