Wait until someone supports the thing you oppose before ripping him/her for supporting it. It's also true that you can agree with a group on one thing while disagreeing with it ardently on another.<br /><br />"And no, I didn't know that the number of circumcisions is dropping.

But I'm not sure why that is relevant to Serge's point or why the U.S. should want to replicate Europe ... in any area."<br /><br />The reason that fewer and fewer parents are having their sons circumcised has nothing to do with whether the practice is popular in Europe or not. (I agree that that would be a stupid thing to factor in.) The reason has to do with it being barbaric and pointless.<br /><br />The reason I mentioned it at all is that some people are thinking opposition to circumcision is just some "nutty hippie San Francisco thing" or something from the ONION or SNL, when the practice of circumcision itself is the one in the minority world wide (and now becoming the minority view within U.S. borders, as well).bmmg39http://www.benevolentgrammarian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-53953660531118475632011-03-09T09:21:45.936-08:002011-03-09T09:21:45.936-08:00Bbmmg39: No one said the two issues had anything t...Bbmmg39: No one said the two issues had anything to do with one another. Serge's point was the cognitive dissonance (something Serge is very adept at identifying) in the notion that San Franciscans would petition government interference in the circumcision decision but see no such need in the protection of the actual life of that same human being.<br /><br />And no, I didn't know that the number of circumcisions is dropping.

I know *I* do.<br /><br />Bob: "...no script writer could make this kind of stuff up."<br /><br />You do know that the number of circumcisions has dropped sharply in the U.S., don't you? Perhaps in a few years, it will be as low as that in Europe.bmmg39@aol.comhttp://www.benevolentgrammarian.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-88514744467233964202011-03-03T10:37:32.250-08:002011-03-03T10:37:32.250-08:00Rich,

Well, not rea......without government interference.<br /><br />Well, not really. <br /><br />The government often subsidizes abortion directly.<br /><br />Even without directly paying for abortion, the government subsidizes it by providing police protection for abortuaries.<br /><br />Imagine if a state governor, upon election, said that his government would not support abortion in any way. For example, police forces wouldn't arrest pro-life protestors who blocked aborturary entrances. Police wouldn't arrest someone such as Roeder who acted to defend the innocent.<br /><br />I don't think pro-aborts really want a lack of government interference. No, they want government to subsidize abortion through police protection.Drew Hymernoreply@blogger.com
