== [[Circumcision Debate]] ==
In 2012, Merkel opposed the legal provision for [[circumcision]] on underage boys for religious reasons. This is a massive encroachment on the constitutionally protected [[physical integrity ]] of the child. He sharply criticized the draft law submitted by the Federal Ministry of Justice in an article for the Süddeutsche Zeitung<ref>{{REFnews

Merkel coined the term "''fall from grace''" for the [[German Circumcision Act]], which the author Tilman Jens, among others, used in his polemic of the same name on the circumcision debate.<ref>{{REFbook
