Keep up the good work !!!
Ron,
just a quick thanks for dropping by my blog and reading my circumcision-themed short story.

He does get around.
Just replying to my own blog because I think it's the only way to initiate e-mails when comments are posted.

PS - restore your foreskin.
thanks for the useless info you posted on my blog.
I do urge one and all to visit
A, B, C, and D's blog with useful information:

She has stated her determination to amputate half of her newborn son's penile skin despite being presented with every manner of evidence. This ranges from the reasoned opinion of EVERY national medical assocation on earth - none of which recommend routine circumcision - to the common sense human rights appeal that it's his body and should be his decision.
I can't imagine what her son will have to say when he browses the Google archives in 18 years to see what his mom knew ( AND IGNORED ) before his birth, before she spitefully and stubbornly went ahead with circumcision.
By then the practice will be illegal and he'll certainly be curious how it was that it was ever allowed to befall him.
Can you imagine the insanity of commiting to risky pleasure-reducing cosmetic surgery on behalf of a person who is not yet even born? - even though the rates of such mutilation are dropping worldwide and are down to about 50/50 in the US.
It defies logic and scoffs at love.
Hey, thanks for googling circumcision, and posting a comment on a post of which you don't even know what's going on. You don't know me. Don't waste my time. Take care.
So let me see if I’ve got you figured out. Every day, you sit at your computer and you google words like “circumcision” and “mohel” and see what comes up. Then you post comments, regardless of relevance or context. I’m not sure whether this is an ongoing joke for you, or if you’re serious. Either way, I think it’s funny. And that name, ha! “TLC Tugger!” That’s a hoot.
Anyway, since you took an interest in my blog, here’s another post you might want to have a look at:

Hi AnnEE and Malice Blackheart,
I'm fascinated that you think someone could open their mouth and advocate amputating healthy body parts from non-consenting minors and then expect nobody to say anything about it.
It's an atrocity, and unless you're shouting it down you haven't given it enough thought or research.
Google sends me updates every day about who's discussing circumcision and I sometimes have something to add, so I do.
Cheers,
-Ron
HIS body HIS decision
thanks for randomly commenting on my blog. just thought you'd know that the decision i made about leaving my son intact was NOT due to people shoving it down my throat or being crazy activists. i'm not out to change people's minds, but if they respect my opinion, they will ask. don't post on my blog any more.
Thanks so much for your comment on my blog today, banned-from-baby-showers. I am new to the blogging world, so I am so curious how you found me. It's been a hoot reading all your comments here. Thanks for your enthusiasm in ending this pointless surgery. Save our baby boys!
^^ am so curious how you found me ^^
Since ending circumcision is my life's work (it literally supports me and my family as of May) I have set up daily alerts with Google. I get an e-mail when new entries about circumcision, foreskin, genital mutilation, intactivism, etc. are posted.
What right do you have to take way the rights of others? You don't believe in circumcision..then don't have this done on your children. You have no right to dictate to others what they can or cannot do.
^^ What right do you have to take way the rights of others? ^^
Listen to yourself.
The state intervenes to protect childrens' rights because they are helpless and voiceless.
What other body part would you have the right to amputate from him absent a medical reason? Why is his exquisitely sensitive foerskin an exception?

this blog obviously doesn't accept anonymous comments because you're afraid of the response yoi'll get!! What it comes down to is the fact that each parent has the right to make their own decision. It's ok that you belive one thing but you have no right to force your opinions on others. And to say someone is an ignorant child absure for wanting to circumcise their child is just ignorant.... I could say the same thing about - because do you know the grief the child will get in the locker room or from the girls that he wants to become intimate with!! It's ok that you don't believe in it and it's ok for others too!!!
Hi,
Thanks for your note.
>> this blog obviously doesn't accept anonymous comments because you're afraid of the response you'll get!! <<
Not afraid. I didn't even know that was something I could switch off. I suppose I don't need to hear from crackpots who don't stand with their convictions.
>> What it comes down to is the fact that each parent has the right to make their own decision. <<
Each penis owner has the right to make HIS own decision.
>> It's ok that you belive one thing but you have no right to force your opinions on others. <<
This is true and applies to you with respect to your child. HE has rights and freedoms. Just like a girl, he has the basic human right to the whole prefect pleasure-receptive apparatus nature created for every mammal with 65 million years of refinement.
>> And to say someone is an ignorant child abuser for wanting to circumcise their child is just ignorant. <<
Well, if "abuse" requires malicious intent I suppose you're right. I'd say it only requires ignorance.
>> do you know the grief the child will get in the locker room <<
Yes, I grew up in the US. No grief. Anybody says anything: "Quit staring at my junk, freak!" shuts him right up. Besides half of US infants are being left intact today. Elsewhere, intacts are the overwhleming majority.
>> the girls that he wants to become intimate with!! <<
95% of the non-Muslim world does not circumcise. Females are just fine with healthy clean normal males (like Leo DiCaprio, Collin Farrel, Charlie Sheen). If there are some that aren't, I'd say that's the best shallow skank filter ever devised.
Please re-read what you wrote and sub female for male everywhere, and you'll know exactly how I feel about whether amputating healthy normal sexual parts from males or females should be illegal.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT YOU. It's about HIS right to keep half his sensual pleasure-receptive nerve endings and the exquisite frictionless rolling/gliding action of the natural slack skin.
If you already cut him, I'm sorry, but it was wrong. He can non-surgically restore when he's ready but you have taken forever something that you had no right to.
Foreskin feels REALLY good. HIS body HIS decision.
My favorite excuse when it comes to circumcision is that not having foreskin reduces penile cancer. Oh. Wow. really?? Let's see, So if research suddenly told you that not having fatty tissue around the breasts would reduce the chances of getting breast cancer- that means you would amputate your daughter's breasts???
It's the SAME thing!!!
Ugh.
I would never cut off any part of my children's body unless it was life or death for them. Including foreskin. God/Nature put it there for a reason, why should I decide to chop it off?
oh and also, as a woman who has been involved with intact and circumcised men... I prefer intact every time.
Bravo, Mr. Low.
Thank you for fighting the good fight.
Bless you for the work you are doing.
You are an inspiration and a hero!
I wish more people could see that.
