thinking of the whole "her body, her choice" argument, i have an actual genuine question i haven't seen posed before: what if a husband and wife have just had an infant and one of the parents adamantly tells the staff "circumcise my child," and the other says "absolutely do not circumcise my child." how does this play out? do they go with whatever the mother says? it's no longer her body her choice. i'm sure the nurses and doctors would never go with the father's decision 'just because.' do they instead just go for the circumcision because it's normal? do they do nothing and let the courts figure it out? i've never seen this question asked i'm curious to know how it would play out.
