San Francisco Circumcision Ban Ordered Off Ballot by Judge July 28, 2011 Advocacy, News, Politics and Medicine SF circumcision ban, SFMS amicus brief 1 The measure to criminalize circumcision will be withdrawn from the November ballot because it would regulate a medical procedure, a California judge ruled. This is a real victory for physicians, parental choice, and religious freedom. Superior Court Judge Loretta Giorgi in San Francisco upheld her preliminary prohibition on allowing the Male Circumcision Mutilation Initiative to be placed on the ballot, as the measure is prohibited by California’s Business and Professions Code. SFMS have filed an amicus brief on support of opposing the circumcision ban, and have been a member of the coalition to oppose the circumcision ban from the beginning. Comments are closed.
