→Moral Arguments
* '''"I want to keep my boy from masturbating."'''
*: Masturbation is something completely natural and part of the right to sexual self-determination. The excessive fight against the natural masturbation was the main motivation for the american doctor and rassist [[John Harvey Kellogg]] to propagate [[circumcision]] all over the United States of America.
* '''"If we ban it here, it is done illegaly or abroad."'''
*: This so-called 'backyard' argument can be applied to almost all statutory, punitive bans and is just absurd. It is also listed in debates about drug addiction, abortion and [[FGM|female genital mutilation]]. During the [[Circumcision Debate]] 2012 in Germany, the author [[Harald Stücker]] has explained in a recommended article<ref>https://evidentist.wordpress.com/2012/11/19/beschneidung-im-hinterhof-legalize-it/ Circumcision in the backyard: Legalize it?! (German article)]</ref> why the backyard argument is not accessible.
*: Cases are already on record in Germany, in which courts have eluded parents the right to determine residency of their children when it was to expect that they wanted to take a child abroad for a [[circumcision]] and the court ruled for the benefit of the child.<ref>https://dejure.org/dienste/vernetzung/rechtsprechung?Text=XII%20ZB%20166/03</ref>
*: They who still want to do something legally prohibited, will not be quenched by law at all. Arguing that legal banning would lead to dodging into illegality, should result in a situation where all criminal laws could be abolished.
