Intact Political Action is a page dedicated to encouraging genital integrity activists to be politically engaged against forced non-therapeutic genital cutting.
I submitted a proposal for the California Democratic Party to adopt the following language in our platform: “Bodily autonomy and genital integrity is a human right. Non-therapeutic genital cutting and circumcision of male, female, and intersex children should be illegal.”
It is not anti-semitic to make a critical claim against circumcision. Notice how in that clip, President Trump made absolutely no reference to Judaism and/or Jewish people. In the United States, secular circumcision is actually way more common.
@BlenderParks@RepJerryNadler@BlenderParks In the “Western world”, circumcision is very common in the U.S. & South Korea, and only somewhat common (but used to be common) in English speaking regions like Australia, Canada, and UK. It is uncommon in the “western world” as a whole, however. U.S. is an outlier.
@ForeskinGirl Ending medicaid funding of circumcision would have little to no impact on circumcisions done for religious reasons by people that practice Judaism. Seems more like an excuse than a reason.
@stadtpudel Intact Political Action takes no position on USAID funding as a whole, but we definitely support any defunding of non-therapeutic circumcision.
President Trump defends defunding USAID for several reasons, including arguing that $10 million for male circumcision in Mozambique is wasteful spending. Circumcision is not a cost-effective way to prevent HIV. Please excuse the heavily biased article: https://t.co/acHyKjzFn5
VICTORY! Judge Andrew Biviano declares victory in his race. A judge that has spoken out against circumcision, has been elected. This is definitely something to celebrate!
We’ve only just begun. Fantastic article on my circumcision bills. Thank you to all those who supported, testified and voted. @AdrienneSoti https://t.co/kIGSBnWH3d

@NHKathySullivan@NHKathySullivan As an elected Democrat, I am saddened that you do not seem to support bodily autonomy. Bodily autonomy is a human right. Genital integrity should be a non-partisan issue!
