California: Circumcision initiative brings lawsuit
Opponents of a measure that would make it illegal to circumcise male children in San Francisco filed a lawsuit to get the initiative off the November ballot. Calling the measure anti-Semitic, a threat to the religious freedom of both Jews and Muslims and an infringement on parental and medical rights, the plaintiffs are suing on the grounds state law prohibits local governments from restricting medical procedures, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday.
