Ban Infant Circumcision

What the petition asks
Make it a criminal offence for parents to have infants circumcised and for doctors to carry out the procedure. We believe that it is a horrible procedure and that circumcision has hardly any benefits. People should only decide if they want to be circumcised from 16+.
We believe that infants should not be circumcised without their consent. This can be a painful and horrible procedure. We think circumcision has hardly any benefits and babies should not have to be cut without their knowledge or consent.
