Unnecessarily doing it especially to a newborn should absolutely be illegal. Sometimes it might be medically necessary, like my son opted to have it done years ago because he was entirely non-retractile and it was causing him a great deal of pain. But outside of instances like that? Shouldn’t be done.






Something that really pisses me off about this is that empathy can absolutely be exploited by bad actors. Empathizing with the wrong people can be harmful. But they’ve defined “wrong people” as “minorities” and that’s the fucked up part.
