Most medical procedures on children are justified by clear necessity. Non-therapeutic circumcision is unusual: a permanent, irreversible removal of healthy tissue performed before the person can agree to it.
The deferral principle
The core argument is simple: where a procedure is not medically necessary and can wait, the decision should be deferred to the person whose body it is. This is the standard the movement applies to other forms of childhood genital cutting.
A question of ethics, not faith
This is not an attack on any culture or religion. It is a claim about who gets to decide — and a recognition that bodily integrity is a right that belongs to the child.
