CDC wants to halt the spread of AIDS, perhaps they should hold classes in the use of a device that can completely eliminate HIV in just a few years… THE ZIPPER! When kept in the UP position, it offers 100% protection!

Actually, circumcision is a religious rite and should be protected under the rubric of freedom of religion. For example, Jewish boys are required to be circumcised by a religious “official” (called a mohel). If it is done earlier, it is completely ineffective (as a religious rite) and if it is done by a doctor (and not a mohel) will probably not be done correctly.

If the Obamacare statements on circumcision are carried out, they will probably be forced immediately after birth (while the baby is in the hospital) and will not be done according to the religious requirements.

This is what happened many years ago when doctors attempted to restrict circumcisions to being done by doctors in hospitals. While many hospitals had “circumcision rooms” and allowed the mohel to use it on the eighth day (since women then stayed for more than a week in the hospital – as did my mother), other refused and insisted that it be treated as a full operation. This was dropped and babies are now circumcised at home or in the synagogue by the real experts, as was done with my sons and grandsons.

Isn’t there already a move to coerce teenage girls into getting the cervical cancer vaccination? Will that also be mandatory under Obamacare?

One of the side effects of a bad circumcision is tightness of the skin during erection so I wonder if Obamacare will pay for corrective plastic surgery.

n 1999, approximately 65% of all males born in the US were circumcised, which represents around 1.3 million each year. In contrast, surgeons perform only 600,000 tonsillectomies a year.

Ah! Yes! But how many diabetics had their feet cut off, huh, huh?

The girls get it twice in some places. Completely brutal.

I imagine to cut costs Obamacare will require the use of the small Guillotine Mel Brook’s character used in Robin Hood: Men in Tights.

One of the side effects of a bad circumcision is tightness of the skin during erection so I wonder if Obamacare will pay for corrective plastic surgery or will it be an elective procedure.
