==Circumcision in the news== | |||
Wouter van Erkel and Koen Sijtsema said a ban on circumcision should be put on the political agenda. They said beween 10,000 and 15,000 boys are circumcised every year for the parent's religious views. They stated: | |||
<blockquote>Freedom of religion implies that every person is free to adhere to any religion they like. That freedom must under no circumstances include the infliction of a religious, permanent marker on another person. Then one person’s freedom curtails the freedom of another.</blockquote> | |||
They propose to gradually increase the minimum age for circumcision and to require parents to register a child for circumcision. A ban would be imposed later.<ref>{{REFnews | |||
