Cutting off healthy tissue to prevent HIV is something I'd expect from a doctor who thinks health care should be reserved for the well-heeled.
The hygenic practices in Africa are a big part of the reason HIV travels so fast through that culture. Open sores on genitilia are not unusual.
Circumcision in this country has always been a procedure in search of a justification. But it supplies a good revenue stream to the medical community so they love it.
Oh, and you people have won elections before but every period of republican rule is followed by LONG periods of liberalism. Check out what happened in the 30s or 60s when republicans dropped off to 20% and 35% control of Congress. Your ideology's policies always hurt MANY more than they help, not to mention that we still control 48% of EVERYTHING.
This next time the republicans stumble we'll see universal healthcare and very progressive taxation make a comeback.
Where will the selfish go then?
