Total BULLSHIT.

Let's see them fund FEMALE circumcision to appease the "underprivileged population."

Watch the fucking turd Paul McGehee squirm when he's asked about the medical reasons for circumcision, and whether or not people asking for it should pay. Spineless worm...

CAUTION: The video in the following link shows sights and sounds of circumcision. Proceed with caution.

Circumcision on the NHS: how health trusts are breaking guidelines

A More4 News investigation reveals how the health service is bowing to pressure and offering circumcisions for free.

Male circumcision used to be widespread in Britain. Seventy years ago, more than a third of boys were circumcised.

Since then, medical opinion has swung against it, and the procedure is now mainly carried out here for religious reasons.

As such, according to NHS guidelines, it should only be carried out, and paid for, privately.

But an investigation by More4 News has found an increasing number of health trusts are bowing to pressure, and offering circumcisions free on the NHS.

Guidelines, my ass... guidelines are almost meaningless when people can easily get away with breaking them. This is why circumcision should be criminalized or made into a form of medical malpractice. Without the threat of disciplinary action, corrupt docs won't change their ways.
