Bill would outlaw infant, childhood circumcision, with no exceptions for Jews, Muslims

The state legislature's Joint Committee on the Judiciary holds a hearing March 2 on a bill that would ban "genital mutilation" on people under 18, with the threat of a 14-year jail sentence for violators.

The bill as currently written would ban circumcisions done for religious reasons:

[N]o account shall be taken of the effect on the person on whom the operation is to be performed of any belief on the part of that or any other person that the operation is required as a matter of custom or ritual.

The bill would grant exemptions for procedures done for health reasons.
