You're probably opposed to circumcision of infant boys then?

i think circumcision is mostly a jewish religious tradition, kinda outdated. I told my girls, when they have kids, if boys, at least think about it. Ultimatly its my kids decision.

I try really hard to look at things objectively. If there was a national or state referendum on circumcision, i would prolly vote against it.

Wonder why the circumcision rate is highest in the midwest?

Im skepticle with the studies. Saying circumcision prevents risks? Lots of things prevents risk. Why not remove the prostate at birth, or remove 1 ovary? That should reduce the risk by half.

Did you let your girls eat what they wanted while growing up?
Or did you force them to eat a nutritious diet for the sake of their health?

Anyone else getting nostalgic for apnea/atrophy-inducing diseases and foreskins?

Who here remembers dysentery? That was a ***** when I was on the Oregon Trail in the 5th grade.

Nature tells us that the mother should eat the afterbirth.
Science says NO.

Who can explain it?

Eww God, someone was telling me about some women she knew who ate their placentas not too long ago.

I just...I just can't abide.

Then there are the mothers who regurgitate food for their babies, like birds do.

Remember the time magazine cover with the kid breastfeeding while he filled out his college applications?
