If San Francisco is able to ban circumcision, they are perhaps condemning more women to cervical cancer. The increase in cervical cancer is approximately 5.6 times higher in women who have partners who are uncircumcised than with circumcised partners. Thus, while our Jewish brothers and sisters feel it is an anti-Semitic law (and it is, because as the Constitution states “Congress (and by extension the city of San Francisco) shall make no law…”) it is also more than that.
One of the Constitutional arguments about the ill advised Obamacare Law is that congress does not have the power (under the commerce clause) to compel people to purchase something under the Commerce Clause. Were it so, congress could all then require us all to buy a Chevy Volt, or even a Hummer or perhaps a beanie with a propeller on top. In San Francisco’s case, the proposed city rule banning circumcision (an arguably medical practice not necessarily a cultural genital mutilation issue) one could argue that if the city has that kind of power, the city could also at some other time require male infants (and todlers, adolescent and adult men moving into the city) to have circumcision done in order to save countless women the horror that is cervical cancer.
In the case of Chevy Volts… well, who wants to spend $43,000 plus dollars to save maybe $1800.00 in increase gasoline costs per year? It would take approximately 23 years to make that a financially sound move. How many of us keep our cars for 23 years?
