Illinois: Judge Says No to Circumcision for Boy is the headline used by the New York Times on 25 October 2006 for a report on the historic, precedent-setting Schmidt v. Niznik case in Chicago, Illinois in which the court prohibited the circumcision of a boy until he is old enough to decide for himself.
The case represented a victory for the genital autonomy movement.
The case generated substantial media comment.
