Federal Minister of Justice [[Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger]] ([[FDP]]), out of concern for the girls, has examined how the [[circumcision ]] of boys can be made legally secure. According to the Ministry, the judgment represents a break with the prevailing legal opinion. The formulation of a law is associated with considerable technical difficulties. In particular, it should be ruled out that girls can also be circumcised for religious or cultural reasons.<ref>{{REFweb

In the Bundestag, members of the government were prevented from voting by asking the [[circumcision ]] critics to leave the plenary session.<ref>{{REFweb

: ''"The German Bundestag should decide not to take legal steps to legitimize the circumcision of boys in Germany for two years."''
The aim is to objectify the debate about [[circumcision ]] and to induce politics to allow the interests of children to be weighed up at all. It cannot be the basis of legislative action to regard circumcision exclusively as a religious ritual and thus only as a question of religious life in Germany.<ref>{{REFnews
