Changes

In Autumn 2019, they had a General Meeting where the legal prohibition of genital mutilation on boys was discussed. A proposal to ban circumcision on boys other than for medical reasons, had been written by the members Anna af Sillén and Maria Gilstig. <ref>[[File:Moderaterna_motion4_8_omskaerelse.pdf]]</ref> Several party members voted for protecting boys from harm. However, the proposition was turned down. A majority of the party board says no, and emphasizes that circumcision is a relatively common and accepted intervention in much of the world. It should have "links to traditions with deeply religious motives for the Jewish population, for example," and would not conflict with the Children's Convention, writes the party board.<ref>{{REFweb
