15		Sec. 12-33. Ritualized abuse of a child.
16		(a) A person commits ritualized abuse of a child when he or
17		she knowingly commits any of the following acts with, upon, or
18		in the presence of a child as part of a ceremony, rite or any
19		similar observance:

22		(2) forces ingestion, injection or other application
23		of any narcotic, drug, hallucinogen or anaesthetic for the
24		purpose of dulling sensitivity, cognition, recollection

If they have to write an exception to protect circumcision, what does it say about circumcision?

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Babies are normally given a little of wine during Jewish circumcisions. Circumcision creates a wound on the penis and removes a high concentration of nerve endings that do not exist on the rest of the penis - thus causing sensory and mechanical damage to the genitals.

As recently reported by Reuters and many mainstream news media, a recent study shows that Circumcision reduces sexual sensitivity

Can someone still argue that circumcision does not mutilate a human being, a minor, a baby?
