Abstract
- The article focuses on the battle that would outlaw circumcision on boys under the age of 18 in San Francisco, California. The opponents of the circumcision bill view the bill as a violation of the Constitution's protection of religious rights and an infringement on physician's ability to practice medicine. According to Orthodox Union's Institute for Public Affairs director Nathan Diameter, circumcision is a fundamental aspect of Jewish ritual practice and identity.
