      Indoctrination in childhood coupled with a lack of education is a hell of a drug.

      You have to first get them to acknowledge it’s mutilation but that would first require that the acknowledge that they have been mutilated.

          I think that proves his point with the “pros” and “sterile” remarks. Weird rabbis are neither

            This was in America though. So, no, it is not just pros doing it. And even then there are mistakes and complications. It is a medically unnecessary, elective surgery that should be stopped.
