ubiquitin:
If you must be so ubiquitous:
I am opposed to this law because of number 1. I think it was made in bad faith and out of a disrespect of religion.
I am opposed to this law because of number 2. Your response is inadequate, everyone with a brain knows the studies are junk science. See http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/news/General+News/163444/Study-Casts-Doubt-On-Claims-That-Metzitzah-B%27Peh-Leads-to-Herpes-in-Infants.html
I am opposed to this law because of number 3. I think it is bad public policy to regulate religious rituals.
If it had been passed in good faith, then number 1 would fall. If it was passed with good science, then number 2 would fall. Number 3 would not fall unless it was a very extreme circumstance such as human sacrifice .
