re: #68 SanFranciscoZionist

Just to let everyone know—the smart money is on this being overwhelmingly defeated. San Francisco has plenty of loonies, it just does not have a majority of loonies. If it passes by some random chance, the California courts will eat it alive.

And if this were not the case, everyone who wants to have a bris or a hospital circumcision for their son would go to Oakland, Dublin, Berkeley, San Lorenzo, Cupertino, San Jose…

So basically, this is a handful of fanatics who’ve decided that San Francisco can, once again, serve as a platform for them and their cause.

There is a provision in the law that will also make transporting a child out of the city with intent to circumcise illegal. The one year jail sentence will still apply if the family takes the child out of SF, so those posting about “no big deal” should reconsider. The proponents of this law to make San Francisco a Judaism-free zone are also preparing their legal briefs to override all the constitutional objections that are sure to arise.
