When Judges Ignore the Law: How Courts Protect Circumcision Over Children

⚖️ When Judges Ignore the Law: How Courts Protect Circumcision Over Children

By 𝘼𝙫𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙅𝙖𝙮23 | 𝘼𝙙𝙫𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝘼𝙫𝙤𝙘𝙖𝙙𝙤

The law in the United States is clear: assaulting a child, cutting healthy tissue, or trafficking body parts is illegal. Yet when it comes to circumcision, the courts turn a blind eye. The same act that would be considered assault or sexual mutilation if done by a stranger is excused when performed by a doctor with parental consent. Why? Because judges are not ruling on the law itself they are ruling on culture, majority opinion, and medical custom.

1. The Law Already Exists

Every state has laws against:

• Assault and battery (causing injury without consent) .

• Child abuse (harm to a minor, even with parental approval) .

• Sexual assault (any unwanted genital cutting, touching, or violation) .

By plain reading, forced circumcision fits all three. If a neighbor, a stranger, or even another family member were to cut a child’s genitals, it would result in immediate arrest. But in hospitals, the exact same act is hidden behind the veil of “medicine.”

⸻

2. The Parental Consent Loophole

No parent has the right to consent to sexual assault or mutilation of their child . We would never allow a parent to consent to cutting a girl’s genitals, tattooing a baby, or amputating a healthy body part. But when it comes to boys, judges accept “parental rights” as an excuse.

This loophole is the foundation of circumcision’s survival: parents are manipulated into signing forms, and judges uphold those forms as if they override a child’s right to bodily integrity.

⸻

3. The Medical Standard Shield

Courts lean heavily on what is defined as the “medical standard of care.” The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and hospitals all label circumcision as a “legal and accepted practice” . Judges defer to this authority rather than questioning whether the practice itself is a violation of the law.

This shield protects the medical industry from accountability. Abuse is rebranded as “treatment,” and the courtroom becomes a stage for protecting tradition rather than protecting children.

⸻

4. The Statute of Limitations Trap

Even if a man wakes up to the truth of what was done to him, the courts rarely give him a chance to fight back. In most states, victims only have 2–5 years after turning 18 to sue . Many don’t even realize the extent of their loss or trauma until much later in life. By then, the window is closed.

This trap silences survivors before they even begin. The law may say they can sue, but the reality is designed to shut them out.

⸻

5. Cultural Bias in the Courtroom

Judges are people too, raised in the same culture that normalizes circumcision. If most men around them are circumcised, they see it as “normal” rather than criminal. Their rulings reflect conditioning, not justice .

The result: the law is not applied equally. Instead of defending children, courts defend majority opinion and medical tradition.

⸻

Conclusion: Justice Denied

Circumcision is already illegal by the standards of assault, child abuse, and sexual assault. The tragedy is not that the law is missing it’s that the law is ignored, distorted, or selectively applied to protect the majority practice.

Until circumcision is banned outright, survivors will continue to be denied justice. The courts may be blindfolded, but we see the truth clearly: circumcision is sexual assault, and it must end.
