Before adoption and continuing thereafter, [[intactivists]] fight against this "Circumcision Act" because from many legal experts' view, it violates the Grundgesetz ''(German Constitution)'' and other legal norms.
== The Text of the Circumcision Act ==
This reformulation removes the legal issue from the law to prove that operations are actually done in accordance with the rules of medical science. Now the law accepts if the doctor or clipper has stated their intention to want to perform [[circumcision]] according to the rules of medical science.
== Law withdraws on its own ==
By the phrase ''"if it is to be performed according to proper medical standards. This does not apply when the [[circumcision]], also considering the motivation, endangers the child's well-being"'', the law withdraws on its own. The rules of medical art state that without a medical indication no healthy body part may be irreversibly removed, especially without effective pain suppression. Both apply to newborns and babies up to the sixth month (paragraph 2 - Mohel clause) without further ado. Moreover, the child's welfare is endangered in any case, as the loss of the foreskin is irreversible and thus in all cases harms the child.
