Why-San Francisco may ban male circumcision

SAN FRANCISCO - A U.S. group opposed to male circumcision said they have collected more than enough signatures for a proposal to ban the practice in San Francisco as a ballot measure for November elections. But legal experts said that even if the move was approved by a majority of the city’s voters, such a measure would almost certainly face a legal challenge as an unconstitutional infringement on freedom of religion.

Circumcision is a ritual obligation for infant Jewish boys, and is also a common rite among Muslims, who account for the largest share of circumcised men worldwide.

The leading proponent of a ban, Lloyd Schofield, 59, acknowledged circumcision is widely socially accepted but he said it should still be outlawed. “It’s excruciatingly painful and permanently damaging surgery that’s forced on men when they’re at their weakest and most vulnerable,” he told Reuters. His group submitted about 12,000 signatures supporting his proposed ban, said Rachel Gosiengfiao, campaign services manager for the city’s Department of Elections. The agency has 30 days to verify the petitions. He needs 7,200 valid signatures to qualify.

 

Watch-Woman sued after elaborate online hoax

A lawsuit against a U.S. woman who perpetrated an elaborate online hoax - in which she pretended to be a volunteer firefighter and as many as 20 of his friends - will be going ahead.Paula Bonhomme had exchanged e-mails, letters, photos and gifts with who she believed was a man in Colorado, and had even spoken to him nearly every day on the phone, the Chicago Tribune reports.

But about seven months after "Jesse Jubilee James" died suddenly of liver cancer in 2006, Bonhomme's friends discovered the truth - that James had been an invention of Janna St. James, a woman from the suburbs of Chicago.St. James had also befriended Bonhomme, posing online as a friend of James's, and had visited Bonhomme after James's so-called death."Who does that?" Bonhomme told the Tribune. "When you take it all apart and look at it, oh, you feel like such an idiot. ... But when it's unspooled on you tiny bit by tiny bit and mixed in with reality, how do you even know where the lie begins?"Bonhomme filed a lawsuit that was dismissed in December 2009, the Tribune reported.

In March, an Illinois appeals court reinstated the case.
