I wonder if the vehicle even had them… 2 6 Link to comment

I will get all preachy now- I know not everyone is ok with circumcision but if you are doing it as a ritual religious ceremony--- it gets done. Also, I understand that there is quite likely not a mohel t where she is in Ethiopia hello to perform it, but it;s not JUST the actual circumcision- there are important prayers and actions that make it a bris. I don't know if it has been explained, but bris or brit means covenant as in covenant with Abraham and G-d that on the eighth day of lie this is done. So maybe she needs a bigger star of David because she otherwise seems to not know much about it.

We are getting far off topic but the science does not back up skipping circumcision: CBS News: Clinical research has found circumcision can safeguard an infant from a number of health complications, most notably urinary tract infections. Kidney damage develops in about half of infants who contract a UTI. The adult lifetime risk for a UTI is approximately 1 in 3 for uncircumcised men. Additionally, circumcision has been found to lowers one's risk for contracting HIV and HPV, the human papilloma virus, which can cause genital warts and has been linked to some cancers. Another study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed more than 500 studies, finding that circumcision reduces risk for HIV transmission in heterosexual men by 60 percent, genital herpes by 30 percent, and cancer-causing strains of HPV by 35 percent. Some research suggests that circumcision in infancy actually lowers the risk for prostate cancer in adulthood. A study of 3,400 men found those who were circumcised before their first sexual intercourse were 15 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer than men who were not. So worries that a baby later may be mad at his parents for seeking to protect his health seem ill founded. 2 7 Link to comment

If that's a professional makeup job, the "artist" might consider a different career. Ari's eyebrows don't even match in her THs, so I figured she did her own makeup. 1 3 Link to comment

Likewise, many insurance companies are no longer covering the procedure (unless specifically medically necessary). Interesting. What are your sources for this? From the CDC 2013: Across the 32-year period from 1979 through 2010, the national rate of newborn circumcision declined 10% overall, from 64.5% to 58.3% (Table and Figure 1). During this time, the overall percentage of newborns circumcised during their birth hospitalization was highest in 1981 at 64.9%, and lowest in 2007 at 55.4%. From W.H.O. 2015: There's no question that among the world's wealthy nations, the U.S. stands out when it comes to circumcision. The WHO estimates that the overall male circumcision rate in the states is somewhere between 76 and 92 percent. Most Western European countries, by contrast, have rates less than 20 percent 1 Link to comment
