The Mommy Talks

Because most of you already know how I feel about this:

I've been asked by more than a few people why am I so interested in their son's penis. People, I can assure you that I have no bizarre fascination with your child's penis. I do not even dislike a circumcised penis. I don't care if adolescent boy's are or are not made fun of in the locker room. I do not care if my son's penis looks like his father's or not. What I do care about is supporting simple HUMAN RIGHTS. I care about speaking up for someone who cannot speak for himself. Opposing infant circumcision is really about supporting the right to choose for one's self what happens to his or even her own body. It's not about patting yourself on the back because you've not circumcised your son or that you've convinced someone else not to do it. It's about the fact that no parent's should even have the right to make such a decision. The only person who should decide if he's circumcised is the owner of the penis. Until this is outlawed by the United States government, they are essentially legislating child abuse. Until insurance companies stop paying for routine infant circumcisions, they are sending the message that the medical community will do whatever you pay them to do. Until doctors actually stand up and support their own Hippocratic Oath to "first do no harm", they should feel shame. For now, all we can do is spread the knowledge and start a revolution, one penis at a time, one letter at a time, one voice at a time. Spread the word that everyone's rights should be respected from the day they are born until the day they die.

There, I said it. No apologies.

It seems like only yesterday that you were born...

...but here we are, 3 years later. You are the sweetest little girl and such a wonderful big sister. Happy Birthday, Ava! I love you!

She had a fantastic day. It started with dance class and then her friends came over for a princess party.
