A group of demonstrators clad in white shirts and pants with blood-red splotches over their crotches drew attention in Midtown Anchorage on Sunday.

The protest on the corner of Northern Lights Blvd. and Minnesota Blvd. was organized by The Bloodstained Men, a California-based nonprofit dedicated to ending the common medical practice, which they refer to as genital mutilation. The protest marked the second day of their tour across Alaska, where they plan to visit various locations.

Although protests are a familiar sight in Anchorage, this group’s theatrical appearance stood out. The demonstrators, both men and women, wore white outfits with vivid red markings meant to symbolize what they describe as the physical and emotional harm of infant circumcision.

The organization opposes the surgical removal of the foreskin, which is often performed on newborn boys in hospitals across the United States. Members argue that the procedure is unnecessary, harmful, and performed without the child’s consent.

Signs held by the demonstrators bore slogans such as “Circumcision = Child Abuse,” “Stop Cutting Baby Penis,” and “Nobody Wants Less Penis.”

Circumcision rates in the United States have declined in recent decades, but the practice remains common. In Alaska, rates are lower than the national average, and Medicaid does not routinely cover the procedure unless deemed medically necessary. Many male children born at home or in birthing centers escape the knife.

The Bloodstained Men have taken their protests across the country, often drawing support — and controversy — wherever they appear. They will be touring Alaska through July 13.

  1. It is obvious some people just like to protest, but really? This group is obviously not aware of the high rate of cervical cancer among women married to men not circumcised. There are several other risk factors among women so perhaps these men should think of their partners and not just themselves.

      • Yep because if you can wash it and you dont lets just cut it off. Forget to wash behind your ears F it cut them off. when was the last time you scrubbed between your toes? You didnt??!! chop them off!!! Next time your significant other says i don’t want to fool around because I’m hot and sweaty start chopping off arms to air out those armpits cause no arm means no pit. Thats how you sound. Ridiculous….. We all know the rules you wash what you eat penises are no different.

    • Our Governor should pile onto this initiative. It’s a righteous cause that he can identify with. Except in his case, they threw away the wrong piece.

        • What rubbish, says the book written by a mortal man, NOT God. Ya’ll cannot figure out what actually happened yesterday with a billion terabytes of information at your finger tips. #stopspoutingthepropaganda

    • 70% of men worldwide are intact. That’s about 100% of European men. You never hear complaints about cervical cancer from women over there because of their intact partners, eh? This is a ridiculous and bogus attempt for an excuse for child rape and mutilation.

    • No Judy, there are many men, like me, who legitimately hate that it was done to us. I’m also a dad of 2 intact adult sons and am not happy with the lack of information provided to people before they are presented with the question “do you want your son circumcised.” I’m very aware of the medical claims – you should look deeper into them.

      • Our bodies our choice John, the feminazi mutilators forget that. Yet they screen bloody murder when Islamic zealots circumcise women in the name of their God.

    • Cervical cancer is caused by rare strain of HPV. Same type that can cause head and throat cancer, penile cancer and anal cancer. It is sexually transmitted, and circumcision status has not effect on it. Best way to prevent it is to use safe sex practices and vaccinate (for those vaccines).

    • FYI: The American Cancer Society says penile status of sex partners is NOT a risk factor for cervical cancer.

    • Where did you get that information from, sounds like an old wives tale. Not even the American Cancer Society recommends male circumcision for prevention of cervical cancer. Instead, testing (Pap) and and HPV-vaccination are recommended. Newborn circumcision comes with many complications and adverse effects that include even fatality.

    • Let’s clear something up: claiming that circumcision prevents cervical cancer is outdated and misleading.

      Yes, some older studies suggested a link—but they failed to control for things like condom use, number of partners, smoking, and access to healthcare. Those are real risk factors.

      The HPV vaccine and safer sex practices are what actually protect women. Not cutting off healthy parts of someone else’s body without their consent.

      The American Cancer Society doesn’t recommend circumcision to prevent cervical cancer.

      We all want to protect our partners. But true care means consent and respect for bodily autonomy—for everyone.

      No one—especially a non-consenting infant—should be subjected to irreversible surgery based on speculative future benefits to someone else.

      • The source is an antimasturbation campaign from the 1870’s pre germ theory when it was believed that sin was the cause of all diseases. Little girls caught masturbating had the clit0rises burned off with carboloc acid and little boys were circumcised the pain was thought to reduce sexual appetite. THAT is the source and it’s WELL documented.

    • According to the American Urological Society, circumcised men are at TWICE THE RISK (200% higher) of the strains of HPV that cause cervical cancer. That means women who sleep with circumcised men are significantly MORE likely to get cervical cancer than women who sleep with men who have whole penises.

      You must be confused: there is a LOW rate of cervical cancer among women married to men not circumcised.

    • No medical association endorses forced genital reduction surgery on healthy children. Informed adults can decide for themselves. Circumcision alters sex dramatically.

  2. And here I thought it to be a process to keep the penis clean. Or- if Jewish, a religious symbol of sorts. Regardless, I am circumcised, (at the apparent appropriate time). As to not giving consent, Heck, if consent were the guild line, then all those spankings and sitting in the corner without my consent are in play, right? What a “Karen” project these fools are about. Give me a break!!

    • Don’t ever study the anatomy and functions of what was removed from your body. I often wish I was still blissfully ignorant myself. Alas, I became a dad at 35yo and went down the rabbit hole because the question presented. We left our sons intact and they are adults now. I spent many of those years asking whether we did the right thing. The more I learned the more I came to hate that it was done to me.

    • Give me a break. Your momma taught you to wipe your butt. Comb your hair. Brush your teeth. But she knew you’d be too lazy to wash your own sex organ !!!
      Geez. Most of the men in the world are intact and they don’t have these “hygiene “ problems you mention.
      Oh. Then there’s this.
      The original “covenant “ of circumcision was not the full removal of the foreskin as done today. It was just the cutting of the tip of the foreskin to draw blood. It changed during the early Greek Olympics when the cut men would stretch their foreskin to cover the head to look like all the other intact Olympians. When the church elders learned of this, they then ordered more of the foreskin removed in order to preserve their identity.

      Circumcision is barbaric and unnecessary

      • Only one correction, otherwise great info. It was not church elders (that is a Christian term and circumcision is not a part of Christianity). It was the rabbis that did not want Jewish males to “uncircumcise”, so to make it almost impossible they changed it to complete amputation all of the foreskin by ripping it from the glans about the year 140 A.D.

        ‘http://www.savingsons.org/2012/10/types-of-circumcision-brit-milah-in.html

    • Foreskins have functions. They are the protective and gliding mechanism of the penis. Most men are not to confused by their penises to be able to figure out how to rub them in the shower. What other healthy highly functioning body parts did you have amputated to protect yourself from normal hygiene?

    • You were actually gullible enough to believe the penis is cleaner without its wrapper? They did it to you to try to keep you chaste and faithful to your wife. It’s meant to “weaken” the penis.

    • Bathing your child and then teaching proper hygiene is the bare minimum standard of care. If you’re not capable of that you’re unfit

      5,488 mammal species ALL have a prepuce. Ur Mom has a prepuce. 99.999999% of ur male ancestors had a prepuce. Yet supposedly only Merikan males can’t clean ourselves
      Basic quiz for the dirty hand hygiene challenged:
      A) use soap water and friction to clean off skin of hand
      B) cut off 3 fingers and never have to wash ur hands ever again 😂😂😂😂

      simple hygiene facts:
      its WAY harded to clean:
      outter ears
      feet
      hair
      teeth
      so according to ur logic time to up ur circumcision game 😂😂

    • Al, they don’t mean to say that curbing a child’s misbehavior with spankings and placing them in ‘time out’…shouldn’t be done, as per your example. The term ‘without consent’ simply refers to the fact that when the child grows into manhood, a ‘theoretical preventative measure’ such as routine infant circumcision should not have been performed on him as an infant, especially because circumcision quite often results in the dulling and diminishment of a man’s penile sensitivity over time. As many circumcised men have and continue to attest. In case after case after case, many circumcised men have reported having lost almost all penile sensitivity around the age of fifty and going forward. Many men have also testified to their diminishing loss of feeling as early as their twenties and thirties.

  3. Ha…If you can’t even pronounce Kenai (“Ken-I” as the reporter pronounced it), I am shocked you can even spell PENIS.
    Good luck in Fairbanks. Ha. You will likely not be as well received as you were by the libs in Anchorage.
    Most of us came here decades ago to get away from people like you that want to tell us how and what to do regarding our own families. And most people in Fairbanks are heavily armed citizens.
    Take your bloody pants back to the lower 48 and get a real job.
    Your parents must be so disappointed.

    • They are likely circumcised and are fantasizing about what it must feel like to be uncircumcised. FYI, no nerve damage results if the procedure is done on the eighth day of life, and little blood loss as this is the time of maximum clotting ability. At heart, this is an antisemitic attack.

      • Most of the nerves of the penis are in the foreskin. All of those nerves get severed during a circumcision. The day you do the circumcision on is of zero consequence. Believe in some special factors about the eighth day sound like the primitive superstition that they are. The blood loss eight days after birth is no more or less than the blood loss on the day of birth.

        Clotting ability doesn’t reach normal levels for six MONTHS after birth.

    • I grew up in Alaska, I know how to pronounce Kee-nye – The leader of Bloodstained Men did not.

      There is a doctor in Fairbanks that is a board member of GALDEF (look it up). You might want to question this ritual that the USA clings to while the rest of the first world has abandoned it.

    • Leave children’s g3nitals alone PAL. Thats NOT your right its NOT your body.

      What OTHER parts to YOU think YOU have the RIGHT to cut off CHILDREN?

      When you can learn to keep your knives to YOURSELF then people won’t NEED to tell you to leave children’s g3nitals alone

    • It’s not a liberal or a conservative issue. I am ultra conservative on most issues, but I am against genital mutilation of either males or females. There is nothing wrong with people trying to educate, ignorant backwater dinosaurs about how to not mutilate and abuse your baby boys. Just like you shouldn’t be mutilating and abusing your baby girls.

      • Circumcision is the sexual mutilation of minors, buddy. What you are barking about is transphobia. You hate trans people so you want to force them into your delusions of how others should be. Yoi told cars about trans people. You wpuld probablystone them if you could. Kind of how you support the ACTUAL torture and mutilation of babies. You are an authoritarian masquerading as an American. Wrong country PAL go hate freedom somewhere with a -stan on the end of its name. Like Kazakhstan or Afghanistan. Thats more your type of people. You would be the first in line for the dancing boys I’m surre.

    • The whole point of the genital integrity movement is protect everyone’s genitals from forced cutting. What a stupid assumption to think any of us are ok with cutting up the genitals of infants and children.

  5. As Hillary Clinton called MAGA a bunch of Deplorables. The Democrats just keep digging their hole deeper. If TRANS SPORTS wasn’t bad enough, this could be the last straw for the Democrat Party. They are like Lemmings running over edge.

    • People who cut the genitals of children for irrational ridiculous debunked trivial pseudoscience quackery excuses that shouldn’t fool a 5th grade science student let alone medical DUCKtors with advanced degrees are the REAL morons.

      You will use ANY ridiculous illogical moronic excuse to cut children’s genitals

  8. Fun fact.
    The hospital charges for the circumcision and sells the foreskin to beauty cream companies.
    Look it up.

  9. I counted a couple dreadlocked white guys, and one guy had a bloody handprint over his crotch which was reminiscent of the imagery of the bloody handprint over the mouth used by the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women group. Seems like the cultural misappropriation of this small group should be enough for the woke movement to cancel them. Of course at the Chicago Gay Pride Parade a woman veiled in a burka was marching with a pro-Palestine group waving Palestinian flags, holding LGBT and trans flags, and draped in a Palestinian scarf.

    I can already hear a few of the commentators here who would fit in with well with either group…

    • Steve-O – LMAO! How much is AIPAC paying you to interject into any comment on here anything that degrades Palestinians? Wow, circumcision & pro-Palestine groups? Really?

      • Fishing,
        Your response, as always, is very telling.

        You can’t imagine that a person has an opposite world view than yours without being paid, another telling sign on your part.

        Seriously you see nothing strange or wrong with the facts and simce you cannot argue the facts you can only muster up week attacks against thise you disagree with. Do better next time.

    • How is it any better or worse than a yeast infection in your urethra? Have you ever considered getting your urethra removed to protect you from those ones?

      Makes about the same amount of sense.

  11. Ok, the elaborate visual effect is a tad bit inaccurate and dramatically overdone ….when a baby is circumcised there is actually very little blood. I do wonder how these protestors feel about the genetic mutilation of kids pushed into gender confusion and the often resulting mutilating surgeries?

    • Babies bleed out every year. You are spreading myths and delusions that HURT children while you have done ZERO research. A baby almost DIED in NY at a top hospital a month ago. Do your research BEFORE spreading nonsense

  13. My favorite circumcision joke…..

    Two 6 yr old boys are in the hospital. One is eating ice cream after having his tonsils out.
    The other boy, just arriving asks what he was in for. “Tonsils” the boy replies.
    “Oh wow.. that’s what I’m in for… so I need to know did it hurt?”
    “Yes, the boy replied”
    “How bad was it?”, asked the nervous boy.
    “Well… it wasn’t nearly as painful as circumcision.” he replied.
    “Oh.. you were circumcised?….. and that hurt?”
    “Oh my God…You have no idea”, the boy replied
    “Well how bad was it?”
    “Let me tell you”, the boy said, finishing his ice cream…”I was circumcised when I was 3 days old…
    Couldn’t walk for a year.”

    • “I can’t find the compulsory mutilation of the genitals of children a subject for humor in that way. If a person as humane as yourself can sit here and think of that as a fit subject for humor, shows what I mean. Religion makes morally normal people say and do disgusting and wicked things—and you’ve just proved my point for me.”
      — Christopher Hitchens

    • If you find MGM funny, FGM is just as hilarious 😂 😃 😄 😁 🤣 😸

      You know what would be funny?

      If your Mom had a North Africa vacation and got/received her UTI reduction surgery like WE got” with no consent. Bet that would be a family inside joke for decades to come.

      Hahahahahaha soooo FUNNY!

  14. Ironic AF.
    Protest against a VERY hygienic practice of circumcision – but support the genital mutilation of “trans” minors.
    Can’t make this Shlt up…

    • You can learn how soap and water works. If your penis is dirty take a shower not torture and mutilate babies. Your hair your hands your feet your butt your armpits and your TEETH are WAY harder to clean. Get a grip PAL

    • Circumcision is dirty. There’s literally nothing clean about taking the protective wrapper off the penis.

      Do you think your eyes would be cleaner without your eyelids, too?

  15. Joe Smyth, you are spot-on. And what about mutilation of unborn children? Would they like to join the Chicago-based Prolife Action League, which shows the horrific photos of late-term abortions as people drive by? All these protests are done to distract from the true outrages that are on-going: undeclared wars, mass murder of Christians not only in Africa, but in the Middle East by Israel, Syria, etc, and the sale of body parts by Planned Parenthood along with their other crimes against humanity.

    • If it was the tip your scar would be on the TIP. Duhhhhhhhhh

      Its the middle HALF PAL

      The male prepuce is half the surface area 75% of the nerve endings including BOTH most pleasurable parts the frenulum n ridged band it is the sensory equivalent of a woman entire external clit0ris

  20. I was totally confused when I drove by them. I caught only a glimpse of a sign that said “genitals shouldn’t have scars.” I asked my hubby, “what did that mean?” Now I get it. I hate the fact that we circ’d both kids. It was his insistence, not mine. All the “reasons” to do it are lies. Complete penises are fine. If you believe lies that your doctor and/or your mom and dad tell you, which lead you to mutilate your baby’s junk, you might want to reflect on what else they lie about: Covid vaccines, polyunsaturated fat, pesticide, etc. Circumcision is right up there with “smoking is good for you.” And the only reason it hasn’t gone the way of that old, bad advice is because it is so personal and people are extremely dogmatic about it. There is no genuine reason to circumcise your sons.

    • Hubby probably insisted because he didn’t want to see a reminder of what was stolen from him every time he changed Junior’s diaper. If Junior had that same scar, he could pretend they were both born with it. It was an act of selfishness to protect his own ego.

    • If your spouse had “insisted” on sexually mutilating a daughter, somehow I think you would have said no . . . Nice job mom. Also, healthy body parts aren’t junk. You really don’t respect your sons as human beings.

    • Anti Jewish people support the mutilation of Jewish boys like ME!

      Just because I’m Jewish I don’t OWN my OWN BODY?

      So being Anti FGM is Islamophobic now?

      Get a grip on human rights so you don’t sound like a raving Nazi

      The basic biology class you took in 5th grade is ALL the education you NEED to completely debunked this ancient penile blood sacrifice turned pseudoscience quackery child abuse

      5,488 mammal species ALL have a prepuce for 160-220 MILLION years. 99.9999999999999% of your ancestors lived their whole lives without soap and showers with ALL their body parts.

    • 20% of these activists are Jews.
      95% of Christians don’t circumcise “If Ye be circumcised Christ shall profit you nothing” -Galatians 5:2
      Circumcised Muslims outnumber circumcised Jews 50 to 1.
      But most of the world does not circumcise.

    • Bronze age superstitions are the antithesis of science. There’s a reason that around 90% of circumcised men live in third world Islamic theocracies.

  22. God commanded circumcision for His people, therefore these little ‘a’ anti-Christs have to call it evil.

    • JESUS died to fulfill the covenant. Try READING the book you claims comes from the creater of the Universe.

      Galatians 5:2 ►
      Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all 👹👹

      ~Phil. 3:2-3 “Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators of the flesh! For WE are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus and put NO confidence in the flesh!”
      Cutters are going down below for that 🔥🔥🔥

      Titus 1:10–11 (NIV)

      > “For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.

      They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.”

      Paul is clearly calling out the “circumcision group” as deceptive, corrupt, and profit-driven — which tracks disturbingly well with modern parallels.

      Titus 1:10-11King James Version
      10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
      11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

    • Circumcision is unchristian. The bible says that if you circumcise, then christ is of no benefit to you. (Galatians 5:2)
      Here are the following bible verses which speak against circumcision of the flesh:
      Philippians 3:2-3
      Titus 1:10-16
      Deuteronomy 30:6
      Jeremiah 4:4
      Romans 2:29
      Colossians 2:11-15
      Jeremiah 31:31-33
      2 corianthians 3:13-15
      Ephesians 2:8-13
      Romans 9:15
      Luke 22:20
      Galatians 5:2-12
      Galatians 6:12-16
      Acts 15

  23. 40 some years ago there wasn’t much information available to parents making this decision but our pediatrician said “it’s really not necessary and we don’t live in a desert with blowing sand.” There’s a good Netflix documentary on this now.

    • Mammals have lived their entire lives around sand for 160-220 million years with all their prepuce. Same for your ancestors. You dont THINK humans populated desserts without mutilating their children?

      Come on man.

      These hygiene, sand, medical benefits are all irrational nonsensical debunked pseudoscience excuses

  24. I bet none of you know why circumcision became popular in America in the 1860’s?
    Punishment for masturbation. This quack Kellogg also advocated putting carbolic acid on the clitoris of young girls to deaden their sexual urges. Please educate yourselves!

  26. Laughable bunch of losers. They stalked me when I mentioned my kid was coming home after his circumcision at birth. I got 500 comments. They all spread the message and descend. They were enraged when I laughed and all my buddies did too. The main guy Kenneth protested circumcision as his partner suffered with cancer. ABC she died while he was parading the streets with period panties. Beyond laughable.

    • Pathological phimosis is rare, and even if it does occur, there are less invasive ways to cure it such as stretching rings, steroid creams, or a preputioplasty as a last resort.

      In medical ethics, amputation is extreme and should only be used as a last resort. There are less invasive ways to deal with phimosis so it is not a good reason to circumcise a child, especially not prophylactically.

    • Phimosis is literally caused by uneducated quacks doing force retraction because medical schools conveniently do NOT teach normal penile development nor do they even learn the anatomy structure and function of the prepuce. All they know how to do is CUT IT OFF SCREAMING BABIES

      ‘Gairdner’s Error’ concerns the erroneous notion, popularized by British paediatrician Douglas Gairdner in 1949, that an intact boy’s foreskin should be fully retractable by age 2 to 3. Gairdner was grossly in error, as Europeans and-better educated American physicians know. Modern research, multiple times since 1968, shows that the actual mean age for natural, normal, expected, non-traumatic foreskin retraction is 10+ years and even late puberty is no indication of pathology.”

      Avery’s Neonatology,
      ‘Forcible retraction of the foreskin tends to produce tears in the preputial orifice resulting in scarring that may lead to pathologic [i.e., in this case, iatrogenic, or physician-induced] phimosis.”

      Roberton’s Textbook of Neonatology
      “Forcible retraction in infancy tears the tissues of the tip of the foreskin causing scarring, and is the commonest cause of genuine phimosis later in life.”

      To appreciate the scale of the error, consider its equivalent in women: it would be as if doctors had decided that the intact hymen in infant girls was a congenital defect known as ‘imperforate hymen’ arising from ‘arrested development’ and hence needed to be artificially broken in order to allow the interior of the vagina to be washed out regularly to ensure hygiene.”
      ~Dr. Robert Darby, A Surgical Temptation, The Demonization of the Foreskin and the Rise of Circumcision in Britain, Univ. of Chicago Press, 2005:235.

  28. Why do Christians get circumcised?
    I was circumcised at a Catholic hospital, doesn’t seem right.
    My 4 boys are not circumcised; they can get it done now if they wish.

    • 3 in 1000 American men CHOOSE to self mutilate as adults mostly for body shaming and ostracization of being born in a mutilation CULTure.

      If this wasn’t a CULTural NORM NONE would choose this.

      It removes the main sensory and mechanically functional tissue leaving damaged crippled reduced genitals for LIFE!

      Thank you Momma Bear for protecting your babies! We need MORE of YOU! Sending you love ❤️ and respect 🙏!

      Circumcision is anti Jesus after Jesus’s sacrifice. Jesus fulfilled the covenant and Baptism replaced mutilation.

      Teach your sons and ensure this NEVER happens in your family EVER again.

      This damages our bodies and our brai development. Research ACEs or Adverse Childhood Experiences

      The average surface area of the adult male prepuce is 18.4 square inches or 50% of the total it contains 75% of the most pleasurable nerves of the body including BOTH most pleasurable parts: the frenulum and ridged band. As discovered by the neurological testing of Dr Sorrells and the histology study of Drs Taylor, Cold, and Lockwood

      What’s done to children, they will do to society.

      A whole life can be shaped by an old trauma, remembered or not.

      Early life trauma alters brain development whether remembered or not
      the earlier the worse the outcome on future development

    • For the entire history of the Christian faith, the vast vast majority of Christian men have gone their whole lives with their whole penis still attached. Circumcision only became a cultural norm in America in the Prohibition era as a means to try to prevent premarital sex and adultery.

      Americans circumcise their sons in spite of their Christian faith, not because of it.

  32. California oozes contempt for their own citizens and like a cancer is spreading their self hatred to other states!!!

    • People who cut the genitals of children are hateful to their own children and themselves.

      We are the ONLY CULTure in the world who claims this is medical or uses ridiculous claims of hygiene.

      The excuses are irrational unconvincing and ridiculous. They are excuses anyone with a fouble digit IQ can debunk.

      Which irrational ridiculous pseudoscience excuse is most convincing to YOU?

      Say it and I will ensure you have the CORRECT information.

  33. I remember at the height of AIDs epidemic, watching a documentary about how the world health organizations were trying to circumcise the men in Africa because the spread of AIDS was much higher for men who are uncircumcised and these were heterosexual men not gay. The health benefits of circumcision is biblical.

    • The same world health organization that recieved the majority of its donations from bill gates. The same bill gates eho invested in a circumcision device called the shang ring. The same bill gates who funded that bogus hiv study which had faulty methodology. And then Hillary Clinton passed the pepfar bill which used u.s. taxpayer money to mutulate millions of african men and boys with the shang ring device that bill gates was invested in.

      You were scammed.

    • Did you just ignore the entire second HALF of the bible?

      Galatians 5:2 ►
      Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all 👹👹

      ~Phil. 3:2-3 “Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators of the flesh! For WE are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus and put NO confidence in the flesh!”
      Cutters are going down below for that 🔥🔥🔥

      Titus 1:10–11 (NIV)

      > “For there are many rebellious people, full of meaningless talk and deception, especially those of the circumcision group.

      They must be silenced, because they are disrupting whole households by teaching things they ought not to teach—and that for the sake of dishonest gain.”

      Paul is clearly calling out the “circumcision group” as deceptive, corrupt, and profit-driven — which tracks disturbingly well with modern parallels.

      Titus 1:10-11King James Version
      10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
      11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

    • Jesus was the FIRST intactivist. Jesus is INTACTIVISM

      Matthew 18:6 — Jesus’ Warning About Harming Children

      > “But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”
      📖 KJV

      You can REPENT right NOW!

      Repent NOW or Jesus will deny you to the Father

      Matthew 10:33 — Denying Jesus

      > “But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.”
      📖 King James Version (KJV)

      I’ll be waiting to hear back from you. I have notify me of new posts by email.

      Let’s save your soul.

    • BTW HIV is HIGHER in circumcised men NOT lower thr 3 studies in Africa were highly unethical were biased towards the result they gave use a flaw of statistics anyone who has EVER taken a statistics class can see through like air and are completely debunked.

      Epidemiology of HIV Prevalence in these African countries
      HIV rate circ vs intact
      Cameroon  (4.1% v 1.1%)
      Ghana (1.6% v 1.4%)
      Lesotho (22.8% v 15.2%)
      Malawi (13.2% v 9.5%)
      Rwanda  (3.5% v 2.1%)
      Swaziland (21.8% v 19.5%)

      According to USAID, “There appears no clear pattern of association between male circumcision and HIV prevalence—in 10 of 18 countries with data, HIV prevalence is HIGHER among circumcised men.

      Circumcision increases everything they say it decreases.

      Its increases UTIs. The meatus is exposed and why 10-20% of mutilated men suffer meatal stenosis

      More debris entering meatus means MORE UTIs

      It increases HIV and STD transmission. The prepuce is a friction reducing system that acts as a gasket to keep moister in.

      Drain the grease remove the ball bearings friction increases dramatically which is WHY mutilated sexually crippled men like myself need lube by our bed.

      Penile cancer is such a dumb claim it’s asinine to even mention.

      This is a cure in search of a disease

      This is an !870s Merikan anti masturbation punishment not medicine and it never will be.

      The lies are so stupid a rational child could debunk them with a 5th grade science education

    • Yet if you look at the actual HIV rates, the men in nations that circumcise have SIGNIFICANTLY higher HIV rates, often 200% or even 300% higher.

      Real world data proves that penis reduction surgery does not offer protection against HIV transmission.

  34. It is mutilation. MRAK has articles decrying genital mutilation of children all the time but suddenly circumcision is ok? I guess it’s ok because it’s done in the name of religion? Full circumcision (not just a snip) is fantastically painful and can lead to infection and death. At least try and be consistent Suzanne.

  35. European male circumcision is not widely practiced outside of religious or cultural traditions, primarily within Muslim and Jewish communities. While it’s common in some Western countries like the US, where around 71% of males are circumcised. Cutting children is entirely a Semitic practice, it’s not native to White culture and is vile. Those cultures are sick. God made no mistake in designing men and women.

  36. And we thought genital mutilation only was performed in Third World Nations!! I don’t believe there is any definitive studies out there that indicates any health benefits to this – for the most part – religious practice.

      • Curious how I have never seen your name on MRAK until this article. Somehow, I suspect you were part of the protest. Which person in the picture are you?
        .
        Tell me Daniel, do you really think posting dozens of comments on this one article, especially the ones where you denigrate the original commentor, are making any difference at all? Do you think your insulting tone is clever? Do you think you are winning points for your side?
        .
        News flash, my comment did not indicate in any way which side of this issue I support. But, given your response, and the vitriol you have been spouting at everyone else, I am guessing you have assumed something about me. Something that is likely incorrect.
        .
        Regardless, my statement remains the same. A child thinks that shocking is equivalent to clever, and adult knows better. Choose your path wisely, Daniel. Let everyone know what level intellect you have.

        • When you insult human right activists exposing exteme sexual assault of helpless children while denying the actual psychological value of the message, one could logically assume you support the abuse we are against.

          Add this to the fact that we deal with enculturated child abusers daily all over this disturbed nation I’m pretty sure I’m right about YOU!

          You aint NEW to me son.

          If you THINK getting attention for an issue that harms children in YOUR LOCAL area and our entire society is a problem maybe YOU are the problem we are dealing with. It’s fsr more clever than anything YOU could come.up with.

          BTW I would be here is this was Tazania EVERY child even in ALASKA deserve human rights

          You should be ASHAMED that people have to come from all over the USA just to protect YOUR children. If you cleaned your own house WE WOULDNT HAVE TO BUDDY

          • Yet, the protestors still act like toddlers, confusing shocking with clever.
            .
            “…I’m pretty sure I’m right about YOU!”
            And, you would be wrong. Funny how much you know based on only a few sentences I wrote. And, how much of what you “know” is 100% wrong.
            .
            What exactly are you looking for from everyone here? Absolute compliance with your position? Do you know who demands compliance? Children (and the Sith, but that is another issue). Are you a child? Your posts clearly indicate that anyone who does not instantly and adamantly agree with you must be your enemy. (I need look no further than the comment I am responding to for proof). Tell me, how are you not acting like a child?

    • Good grief psychos are cutting up children’s genitals for a psychopathic CULTural NORM and DECENT people are speaking out for BABIES!

      OMG BECKIE!!!!! THE HORROR of protecting babies from psychopathic QUACKS with knives.

  39. Drop my waders occasionally while fishing, cleans everything nice and tidy, fish don’t mind, glory be!!
    Send those drama queens back to Cali; fish on!!

  40. You can kill your child in the womb, but you’d better not circumcise your boys under the penalty of law.

    • Because they’ve already done it to their sons, and don’t want to consider that maybe it wasn’t a good thing.

    • Sexually assaulting torturing and sexually crippling babies for life for irrational ridiculous pseudoscience quackery is enough reason for FAR more. You are lucky we are just peacefully protesting, atm. When the TRUTH of our anatomy comes out, expect FAR worse. YOUR CHILDREN GROW UP and GOGGLE and AI will expose the TRUTH!

      I got some popcorn. Just remember yall did this.

  42. What’s up with all the cowboy hats on these protester? Is there some link between circumcision and ranchers that I never before suspected?

    It reminds me of that old country song: “Mama don’t let your babies grow up to be circumcised”.

    • When you’re standing out in the sun all day, you’ll want a wide brim on your hat to keep the sun off of you. It’s as true for cowboys as it is for protesters.

      That sounds like a wonderful song, though.

    • Because cowboys hats are as Merikan as Apole Pie as Merikan as sexually assaulting our OWN CHILDREN with knifes.

      It’s to tell the world, not ALL of us abuse babies. And WE GREW UP AND WE FIGHT BACK!

      You can fool a lot but you cant fool ALL of us. Some us actually believe in human rights and ethics and common sense.

      What better than a cowboys hats and Bloodstained white pants?

  43. Can we please screen incoming visitors so that we don’t have to put up with all of these organizations trying to contaminate the Alaskan lifestyle? Normal people don’t have time for this-they have to work and support themselves. Maybe if more Californians did that, their state would be in better shape.

    • Get a better lifestyle that doesn’t include sexually assaulting babies for no reason other than adult insecurities with normal human anatomy and quack profits.

      I’m not from California

      Intactivism is all over the USA

      We will END your barbaric abuse of children like our predecessors ended slavery.

      Cry about it all you want. MERIKAN MUTILATION IS GOING THE WAY OF THE DODO BIRD AND NOT SOON ENOUGH!

    • What does sexually assaulting babies do for you? What is smart about torturing and sexually crippling babies for life? You know more is better. In Tailand for $3500 they can finish what your Mom started.

    • Dang cutting parts off children’s sex organs for your insecurities with normal human anatomy is loony toons crazyee and those who trivialize or support it need to be in a straight jacket on a cold concrete floor somewhere so you can’t hurt any more babies.

  47. THANK You for covering this! Do babies deserve this pain that is ONLY ROUTINE in the USA?

    It’s pure ignorance and the media have been complicit for generations. Watch 4 minutes of “Adam Ruins Everything” and KNOW BETTER, DO BETTER!

    ‘https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCSWbTv3hng

  49. Amazing how many of the same people who are concerned about the non-consenting infants would readily kill them in the womb because of the mother’s right to choose.

    I wonder how many of these that are so upset about circumcision are also pro abortion?
