MGMbill.org is a
private non-profit organization based in San Diego,
California, seeking to pass a law that will end the
practice of male genital mutilation (circumcision)
in the United States of America. Currently, girls are
protected from genital mutilation by U.S. federal
law, but boys are not.
Although legal
protection of only girls from circumcision would seem to
violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the fact remains
that it is still widely considered to be legal in this
country to mutilate a boy's genitals in the name of
social custom, hygiene, religion, or any other reason.
This is true despite the well documented lifelong damage
that male circumcision causes each of its victims.
It's a practice
we need to end now.

President
