And we must ask ourselves whether the nearly ubiquitous violation of baby boys as a class of people and the assembly-line acts of violence carried out upon individual newborns might be responsible for at least some of the rage, pain and feelings of impotence that underlie the epidemic of mass killings we are witnessing today. | |||

==PFFR in West Virginia== | |||
Parents of a boy in [[West Virginia]] have alleged that an osteopathic physician prematurely forcibly retracted the healthy [[Foreskin#Foreskin_in_infancy_and_childhoo| foreskin of a boy]], causing great [[trauma]], [[pain]], and destructive injury to the [[synechia]] that secures the protective [[foreskin]] in place. [[Doctors Opposing Circumcision (D.O.C.)| Doctors Opposing Circumcision]] assisted the parents in the filing of a complaint against the osteopathic physician. | |||
If true, then the osteopathic physician would appear to have violated the Second Tenet of Osteopathic Medicine. | |||
