Joyce Foster didn't try very hard to conceal her true intentions, IMO.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190648498809795551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-548248685729133691.post-16835759186884278782013-04-18T21:42:08.902-07:002013-04-18T21:42:08.902-07:00"...could his true motives have LAIN elsewher..."...could his true motives have LAIN elsewhere?"<br /><br />It is also my understanding that in some states, health insurance will cover part or all of the mohel's fee, even if the mohel is not a doctor.

There is no need to make circumcision illegal when it already is. I have a problem with the state paying for a religious rite. If Colorado wants to pay for a bris, then they should also pay for a Catholic's wedding. Both are considered essential events in the life of the believer.<br /><br />There is something underlyingly wrong about pushing a procedure on the rest of the population to provide a buffer to protect a religious ritual practiced by a small minority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
